of course yes.. cellphone is neccesity it`s same like had a television maybe it`s weird if you say that you had no cellphone now how your friend can contact you if you had no cellphone??

I think that, in modern society, the cell phone, to a certain point has become a necessity, or, trying to avoid the word necessity, is something that makes our live more easy. Although, it is also very easy to loose control and become dependant to the telephone or any other gatget modern technology has put to our reach.

For real, cellphone is mainly an entertainment gadget but its uses don't let you down in the long run. I tend to procrastinate a lot listening to music or browsing the web if used as a modem but the real deal is I get in touch with more people with just a push of a button.

Hi in my case it is very important to have it because I use it for work checking and answering emails, but also to surf on internet or as a GPS. I use it also as working agenda and as contact list for all my contacts including restaurants and favourite places to go. I believe that for personal security is important and it becomes a partner to play when I have to wait at airports.

for me its yes...coz in my situation right now my parents are not here and my elder sister too..how will they know what am i doing?what if something bad happend right?how will they contact me?..cellphone is really helpful but sometimes some people used it for blackmailing and scams..

I do think that the cellphone is important and necessary. I can contact with others when I am outside. I can also keep in touch with others by SMS or call. And today the cellphone has many features and it gives me lots of entertainment. I especially like watching movies by my cellphone. When I go out, be sure I will bring my cellphone with me. I love China

I can live without it. Hahah! That's when a few years back when cellphone was not invented yet. It's not a necessity for everyone. It depends on what lifestyle you have. You see? If you are living simply in a far flung area I mean in very remote areas, who would want to have it when there is no signal?hahah! But for people like us who needs constant communication in this modern era, it's a necessity. Cellphone is of great use to us more importantly in emergencies.

I have a prepaid cell phone which I pay 25.00 a month. With my husband's doctors appointments and the fact that I have to walk all over the place I feel it is important to have one. I am trying to clean up my old debt and do not want to add any new debt which is why I went with a prepaid cell phone. Money is tight, but I always make sure that I have enough money to add minutes to my phone each month.

Any gadget can have both advantage and disadvantage effect on the person. It is advantageous if you are using a gadget like cell phone in a proper way. I usually use my cell phone in transacting business and a source of communication with my family members. I use it also to console friends with problems. But I do not use it to bully or send green jokes. But there are also many times that I don't browse my cellphone although I am bringing it. In other words, my life can go one without using it. It is disadvantageous if it is being abused. Nowadays, many are using it in a nonsense way. It's just a waste of load or a waste of money if you don't use it wisely.

Hello floridachick, Today world has become so fast and every information is needed to be transferred fastly for that i feel cell phone is a necessity.15 years back there were not much of cell phones with the people so it was like lot of problems for them like they used to rely on people to give information to their dear ones living far away.

Cell phone is an important things in our daily life. i can't pass a single day without this. When i forget to take it, i feel i am helpless and alone.

Some how it is useful.. And some what it is an habit.. Some how it is the waste of time... And some what it saves our time..

Yes, I also agree that it is a necessity. We need to have some means of communication at all times, especially for emergency or for those who lives alone. Many can do without land line phones or smart phones, as mobile is the most efficient one, at least for me.

Right now, my computer is busted so not to be dramatic but I can't live without my smartphone..lol..my alarm, my reminders, my internet..its kept me here..as far as talking to ppl, ironically enough, I dont even talk on it! So for me, yes its a neccesity!

A phone can be a lifeline. Very important, as long as you don't go overboard and abbuse it. But, then again some may argue the reverse. Personally, my cell phone is my life line and without it, I wouldn't be online right now or anthing. So for me it's a basic need. And, its the only "phone" I have. I use it for everything.
