I personally do not have a cell phone, I use to have one but I found it to be a distraction. The questions I always get ask is "how do you contact people, what if you break down, or how do you live without one?" I work from home and we have a landline, free with our internet so I have a home phone for calling also not many cell phones get service where I live anyways, I am not really worried about breaking down because I know a bit about cars and I always call before I go somewhere (like a family's member house) to let them know I am on my way. How I live without it is simple becasue I don't need one, and I have internet at home for work and such. Could you or do you live with out one?

I somehow managed to live most of my life without one. I needed one for a job I had, but I'm not attached to it.

I don't have a cell phone and have no desire to have one. I have a land line and that is fine with me. I am not much of a phone person.

Me either, I am glad I am not the only person that don't need one, when people ask me what phone I have or where is my cell phone that always act shocked. Then they don't seem to understand that I don't need one.

@Ghostdmo My reason is that I don't need one, I always say why have an extra bill for something I don't need.

@Ghostdmo Not really. I just don't need one or want one.

Honestly you feel empty because you carry everywhere rather than your own money I think . But a man should practise staying from phone also

I can live without cellphone but it is difficult. I am single, I transfer from one place to another so the best option for me is use iPhone for internet and I also have a cheap phone (battery last longer than SmartPhones) for call and text. I use different networks just in case one has signal problem in other places I always have a back up. I also use my iPhone to make money online. I prefer working on desktop with DSL but as I said before, I move from one place to another. You can keep your cellphone in silent mode to avoid distraction. Did you know you can make money online using Android and iOS phones?

I think, I could also live without a phone but it would take sometime before I can do it.
