I have given up using my cell phone...do I still need to have one?

If you have given up your cellphone already its okay if you're comfortable with that life style...In my case i prefer cellphones than land line phones...

In my opinion cell phones are very important. Regardless of age, gender, religion, etc. Everyone above the age of 9 or so should have a cell phone. cell phones come in handy during emergency's and they can help you out in a sticky situation. Imagine this you used your land phone to ensure the person you are meeting is there. so you go. You run out of gas on your way, or your car breaks down. How can you notify the person your meeting? how can you call for a toll truck? There fore I think I've proven that cell phones are important. You don't have o get a lavish posh pimped out designer apple I-phone. you could just get a plain cheap one for its soul purpose: calling.

it depends..if you really think that you can go on without a cell phone then that's fine. maybe you can try doing it for a short while and see how it goes hehe. i sometimes think that i dont need a cell too, as i'm not a very heavy user but i think that i still have to have one with me, in case of emergencies or if people want to contact me while i'm out of the house/office or vice versa.

well if i were you i would just get a track phone so if something comes up and you need a phone you have one for if your care breaks down you have a phone to call for help and not have to walk to a store or walk up to someones house you don't know. i think it would be smart for you to have some kinda phone you don't need anything fancy just something to get the job done if you need it

how can you give up a cell phone. that would be the hardest thing for me to do. cell phones have become a major social way of communicating. but i guess if you do not need it then its not worth it, it is all up to who you are.

wish i could be like you! I cant leave the house without my cellphone, freaks me out when I dont have it beside me. Although I still do use my house phone its just really different when its wireless and you can bring it anywhere.

if you can easily be reached through the land line then i dont think you stil have a reason for buying or getting a new cellphone. it will just be a waste of money if you will buy something that you will not use. in this economy we need to be thrifty and frugal at the same time.try to stay that way first let say for a month. if you can exist without a cell for a month then i think you dont need one. if you find it is hard to adjust without a cell then go and get one. have a nice day pal.

I think that having a cell phone will depend on a person's circumstances and needs. You are the best person to decide for yourself :) For myself and my husband, we need our phones to communicate with each other during the day when one is out of the house. Reasons range from the important to the mundane. For instance, when he's on his way home from work and I suddenly remembered we don't have bread for breakfast the next morning, I can call and text him to buy one. Or when our son with special needs suddenly has to be brought to the doctor, I can easily call my husband and tell him to come home immediately so he can drive us to the hospital. My 2 teenage sons each has his own cell phone for emergency purposes such as when they go camping or go on a school trip and I want to be assured that they're doing fine. Or when we have to leave them alone in the house while hubby and I take our special child to the doctor, I can check if they are alright and they can call us in case there is any emergency. But I only transfer load or credits to their phones when needed. They know enough that social calls can be made using the land line phone where the charges are fixed and won't cost us more money.

Nobody NEEDS a phone at all. Except a telephone operator. But they are useful. Personally I don't have a cell phone and live quite happily without it. I do get weird looks sometimes because "everyone" has one. Most people that I see using them are making calls that they don't need to make anyway. Business loves them because now you are always contactable even when you are away. Only you can answer your question, but I think that you can live quite easily without. Enjoy the freedom that it brings.

I wish I could stop using my cell phone, but I can't. It's my way to stay updated, and to do things without moving around. Most of my time i'm not at home, and I keep being in touch with my family and friends, so cell phone for me is a really good thing.

Well people tend to misuse the facilities they get so it turns out to be a headache for them.but as far as the cell phone is concerned they can be very useful in many conditions like i the case of any medical emergencies or any accident.people can get in touch with you while you r away from ur home and give you some very important information.thats why keeping a cell phone is always a good idea!!!!!!!!!!!!

What would you do in case of an emergency or if their were a changed of plans. How would you contact the person you are trying to meet?

hhmm only you can answer that one, tho I have a mobile and a landline and never use my landline as its cheaper to use up my free minutes on my mobile than to start using the landline. Really only have the landline to enable people to ring me at home.

in my case, i just cannot go anywhere without my cellphone. just recently my cellphone had develop some problem and i realize just how i depended on it. And its also safer if you have your cellphone with you all the time especially for a woman. and i put my cellphone on all the time even while i am asleep and its wonderful to wake up and see new messages from friends on my cell in the morning.

It is really up to you. If you feel that you don't need it then it is okay. For me, I don't know how can I live without my cell phone. It's my major means of communication with my friends. Messaging is way cheaper here in our country. I seldom use our land phone.

Hello Mr Plus. I think that it is better to have a cell phone in case some emergency happens. Since we are now at an age of IT, why not make full use of it? This is what I think. As to your personal case, it is up to you to decide whether to have one or not. Take care, friend.

I don't think you need one friend. If you can do without it I think that's great. I think that people have become to dependant on their cell phones. They have great uses but they can also be annoying.
