Can you live without phone

Of course I can. It would make my life a bit difficult but yes. I think Cell phone, like a lot of things, is a matter of convinience. Granted that it's more important to some people than others, there is always an exceptions. Now a days when a lot of people rather drive to a corner convinient store than walk 10 minutes, I can see why people "can't" live without their cell phones. I myself am guilty of this. My job also requires me to have a cell phone for communication purpose. I could always go out buy a laptop & carry it around with me for emails & internet, I could always ask my customers to borrow their phone, keep my eyes out for pay phones where ever I go, either keep a lot of change in my pocket or buy pre-paid phone cards so I can make calls from pay phones. Believe it or not, I've been doing that when I was in high school. Now you can't go to a mall without running into half dozen kids walking around talking into their cell phones.

After learning how to use cellphone in 2004 Istopped using landline phones.Cellphones is very much convenient to use.It is much economical for me because I no longer pay fixed monthly bill.We pay landline phones whether we use it or not while cellphones loaded when necessary.It is hard for me too without cellphones now that my children live far from us I always want to be connected with them.

I don't think in todays world anyone can live without a cell phone. But i on the other hand can't live with it all the time. Sometimes its so irritating that if you dont want to talk to a person and he is calling you. You cant even make excuse that you were out to the market. Damn! Sometimes i have to switch it off just to eat my meals.

Personally, I can live without a phone but in this generation, phone has become part of our commodities or necessities. It is hard to communicate to your family members or friends from other places if you do not have a phone, though you can mail them but it will took some time as compared to a regular phone. :-)

I always bring two cellphones everyday, I can't imagine a day if I forgot to bring it.

If I have my internet.... I can live without a phone but I think that's a contradiction... Hehehehe... Really, a phone completes one's daily habit and routines. We need them for work, chat, emergencies... heck almost everything. Communication is important so a phone is a must.

I guess I can. On and off, my sons keep borrowing mine. The borrowing lasts for months together, that I forget that I have a cellphone. So its okay with me.

I'm sorry you lost your cell phone!! It's a tragic thing to happen to anyone.. I have lost my cellphones so many times and I know how you feel. Sure I don't really use my cellphone, neither do I really like my cellphone, but not having my cellphone with me makes me feel naked.. Even when I forget to bring my phone out at times, I really don't feel comfortable.. and I really do feel as though I'm naked.. It's really funny that I feel that way because I don't really use my phone.. I don't really make calls, neither do I really like picking up calls or texting people. I already work in a call centre, I pick calls up for a living.. So you would be able to understand why at times, I'm just not really into my cellphone. The funny thing is really that I cannot live without it because I guess I'm too used to it. I have had a cellphone since I'm 15.. So that's like 10 years now.. It's something that you have all the time, that sometimes you may use it, sometimes you may not, but still in a way.. I think it became a need into our society now.. Somehow, it became a basic need, like the air that we breathe, and the water and food we consume.. Which now makes me realise, that I would like to do an experiment where I'll not take my phone and not bother about it.. and we'll see how long I last.. Thanks for bringing up an interesting topic today.. :) Have a great day! Take care!

My mother lives 1300 miles away. We talk daily. She is one of my best friends. I don't think we'd have the same relationship if I didn't have a phone. I am sorry your phone got broken. Hopefully time will fly and then you will have your phone. You are almost there.

Hi there @ dawnwalking! Nowadays, NO! I could never live without a cell phone. I need to have a cellphone so I can communicate with my family, friends and with my boyfriend who is working abroad. It is a necessity for me to have a cell phone, all my contacts are saved there. Happy Mylotting! Cheers!

Well I really need my cell phone for more reasons then one having a cell phone for me is not just a luxury but a necessity because I use my cell phone for safety purposes as well as other reasons, because in these times we live in its really dangerous and its good to have convenient a access to 911 no matter where I am and of course for business purpose as well.

Well in this big and modern world today,we really need to have a fast communication to have fast progression and phone is really important especially for me because I am having a long distance relationship.with the phone,we can able to talk to our love ones from every edge of the ocean just for a min not like in past that we need still to write letters and wait for a long time response.Indeed phone is really important now a days and I can't live without it..:-0 god bless and have a nice day..:-0

Ahh, I used to have a mobile phone, until one of my family members broke it. I got it for a birthday present and was very happy with it, being an up to date phone, I kept in touch with all of my close and distant friends, and called people when I needed. But one day it went missing, and after a couple of weeks I found it in the back garden, water damaged, so I guess they must have left it there. ;l Now I've learned to go without a mobile, until I get as new one, using payphones is annoying though... :l

Cell phones are how people stay connected to the world. Without a cell phone you can almost literally be lost. Many people don't even have landline phones anymore so if something happens to your cell phone you can be without a phone period. If you didn't have a computer to communicate with it would be like your were back in the 1800s and would have to travel to see whoever you wanted to talk to.

we lived without a phone for some time last year , but i had cable dsl so it was not to bad. I could still email everyone and when I got the extra money i got signed up for vonage. But we did go for about 5-6 months without a phone.

i don't think i can live without my favorite gadget..i had my first mobile phone when i was in 6th grade and up to now i am using it to communicate with family and some close friends.. i've tried not using it for a day and the feeling was different.. i felt restless and incomplete without my mobile phone by my side.. i guess i just can't stand a day without talking with my loved ones..

Certainly, I can live without phone, the things without which I can't live are, food, water, and air...... but, I cannot do my business without my phone.... if there is no phone, I cannot do my business, if I cannot do my business, I cannot earn money, If I cannot earn money, I cannot buy food to eat and water to drink, Without food and water, I cannot live... so, without phone I cannot live.....

yes, i still manage to survive without the cell:) even when i'll purchase myself one (when the situation will really force me), it won't become another nor the basic cell of my body;)

im sure that if i was used to not having a phone, i wouldnt mind. but since it's like the only way i can communicate with friends i dont see all of the time, i would have to day that i am totally relient on it. i send at least 10 texts a day, and it makes me feel secure knowing that i can contact anyone at any time i need to.

i dont think so. this is just whether how long we need time to adapt into it. Handphone is important but it is not a must in our life. If lost contact, just find it back one by one. we still can live as normal
