Recently, cell phones are a necessity for many. Can you live a day without it? Do you ever turn it off? How often do you use it? And with how many people? Do you really hang out and see those people you text with?

I could easily live without a cell phone. I use it only to text or call my wife and daughter when they are outside the house. If I didn't have the cell phone, it wouldn't bother me that much. I am not that much of a phone person, I could easily do without a house phone too, so long as I kept the phone line so I can access the internet

I can. I feel a little uncomfortable without it as I'm quite used to sms my girl friend everyday and we'd chat about the day, but most of it can be done on Windows Live Messenger, so it's not a big problem. I never really liked phones, and I have a little phobia making them, especially to strangers. Though, I receive calls everyday from my students, friends, team mates...etc.
When I want some peace and keep myself free from any unwanted disturbance, I'd turn it off. I believe the longest was for half a month. Those people whom I want to reach or needs to reach me can always e-mail me or call my home, so I guess, it doesn't bother me even if I didn't have a cell phone.

Well, since I have never had a cell phone, I would say I can live very well with out one. I have never managed to justify the expense of having one. The only reason I can see to have one would be for emergencies but to get one just for that would be too expensive; even the so called throw away ones would be since the time expires and you have to keep buying minutes for it and then not using them.

Am one of those who made cellphone as one of their necessities. Since am away from my family and have long distance relationship, it is a necessity.
How often do i used it?? every time i missed my family and every time i missed my boyfriend.
But unlike others, am using I guess its already a faced out cellphone model with no camera, no radio and other accessories , its not important for me I just need a tool to communicate with my loved ones.
