Will you be keeping your mobile on after midnight on new years eve

no i never do any such type of thing,switching off or not attending to calls.I do like ,and its only one day a new year day,its a special day.And everyone likes to hear and call to their near and dear ones.Its a special occassion that arrives once a while and is to be celebrated with lots of joy.Happy New Year

My solution is to get late and go to bed at like 6 AM. This way you will enjoy the first hours of the new year, and you don't have to worry about your new year greetings waking you up. If you turn your phone off you can read your greetings in the morning, so I don't think you will have any problems either ways.

I don't turn the phone off, just the alerts. My old phone used to light up whenever there was a message and that would wake me up. My new phone is better.

haha :D I'm good since most of my new year greetings came in before midnight and thus allowing me to have a peaceful sleep I guess many of my friends already learnt their lessons ever since they had a mobile phone way back. They know messages will never reach in time when the whole world is greeting each other.. With that, i rather have an early greeting rather than an 'early' disturbance.. lol

Nah, I leave my mobile phone on all of the time because of the fact that we have a large family and several members of our family are getting older so it is pretty important for me to have my phone on in case something happens to someone in my family. With that said, I got all of the messages from friends that were wishing me a Happy New Year within about 30 minutes after 2011 had come to an end.

So far I have not experienced getting a message while I'm sleeping on New Years Eve. I normally sleep really late those times like around 1:30 to 2AM. So before I go to bed I will usually get all the New Year greetings Some even sends the greetings as early as 7PM onwards so that we can at least concentrate on celebrating New Year with my family and not to get pissed with the delay in sending. Happy New Year to you

I will probably keep my phone on, just in case someone wants to call me, even though not many people have my mobile on. But I won't have that problem because I don't have texting on my phone. What I will probably do is keep my phone on until I come home and go to bed, at which time I'll turn it off.

I would never text anyone that late at night because I would worry about waking them up. I leave my cell phone down stairs in the night so if someone calls me or texts me after I'm asleep it doesnt wake me or my kids up. No one needs to get ahold of me in the middle of the night. I hadnt thought about how backed up the cell phone messages might be at midnight on new years eve but it makes perfect sense now that you've said it.

Er... no. My mobile will be on but I very much doubt that anybody will be texting me to send messages. I try not to give the number out as its purpose us for emergencies. But I am sure that plenty of folk do use that method of saying hello. Happy New Year to you and yours.

yes i do, i am not working abroad and i want to get any calls as possible if any. my mother who is half body paralyze back home is one of the reason why my phone is always on. plus of course my wife and my son i back home and i want to make sure when she call my phone is on. so even i am tired and even it is not after new years eve my phone is always on. happy new year my friend.

I had mine on as i was away from home and my boyfriend asked if he could call me at midnight. After he called...and we talked for a while. I turned the sound off on my phone and let texts wait until morning. I have left it on in the past and it drove me nuts because many of my family members who text at midnight are...texting me at 1am my time as they are an hour behind me. This year i was there so there wasnt near as many midnight texts.

At the crucial moments where messages are being sent all over the world at the same time, there are bound to be jams somehow. I'm glad my friends decide to send their greetings to me in advance, before midnight. There's some years back where their new year greetings reached me only 2 days after the New year. I can't imagine the signal jam can be that bad and i was surprised when i saw that message coming to me.

I got the messages that I expected from my friends today, and some of them are pissed at me for I do not keep my phone on and they get their messages wasted. So no, there is no point in keeping my phone on. I'll probably call my grandpa to wish him new year.

I also turn it off. I got a story about last year I received a message with Happy newyear 2 days after it was sent. So for me is it really quiet.

I had mine on, and actually was one sending some of my friends Text messages at midnight wishing them a Happy New Year. I was still at work at midnight getting ready to get off work, so I was definately up. I guess it is up to each individual what works best for them.

I always turn my phone off at night anyway, I never leave it on all night. I'd be irritated if someone did that to me too, usually if I get phone calls late at night like that, its usually because someone in my family got sick or got taken to the hospital, it always scares me a little bit.

I almost never have my cell phone on.

Have you ever thought of just turning your volume off instead of your phone. That way it won't wake you up in the middle of the morning but you will have all of the texts and messages waiting for you when you do get up. Then you can deal with them as you want to.

Well my cell phone is always on, i never swith it off, at times if there is no charge it shuts off of its own, last night after midnight i received so many Happy new year wishes from friends and my son daughter who live far.. This morning no communication was possible due to heavy traffic i guess. Happy posting, cheers. Kalyani

yes..ofcourse iw ill.. so i can receive all the new year wishes from all my friends and foes..too..
