could you live without it for a week?

[Polly Fouracre]

easy..... mine is pay as you go put £10 on it in march and still got £5.60 on it

£10 a year does me too! I can't really call mine mobile, most of the time I can't remember which drawer I've left it in!!

No problems at all, I'd hate to feel reliant on a piece of plastic!

Like a few other Grapes I dislike them. Top-up (£5) lasts at least a year, my mobile is gathering stoor - somewhere

[bluemoon]

Hate mine, but have it with me at all times in case the kids have an emergency. The weird thing is I was telling a friend last night, who is an artist, that I recall being with my aunt - another artist - and us collecting carpet sample books from carpet shops so she could use them for a collage and them being so heavy that we had to phone my uncle for help. In my mind I picture her using a mobile to phone him, but it was 1969, we must have actually gone to a phone-box, but the memory of it has gone and been replaced by something which has to be completely false.

Our landline is used by OH for a fax. His mobile is needed for work. Only way I get to use a phone is to have a mobile, but it isn't indispensible (quite).
It does come in handy as a 'walkie-talkie' when we need to communicate from opposite ends of a work location.....

Mine's always in my pocket and rarely gets used. I can make a £10 top up last anywhere from 3-6 months

What mobile phone?

[beefy]

You must be joking. I couldn't live without my blackberry.
Email ,internet to keep an eye on you all through the day,mp3 player to listen to some music while working, a calendar so I know where I'm supposed to be and when.Camera to take pics of interesting things, sat nav to get me there and home again, alarm clock to get me up in time.
Oh and every now and again somebody rings me and wants to talk to me .
Sometimes I even ring other people on it as well.

No I could not live without my phone for a couple of hours - and you want to take it off me for a week

I can do without the phone part but it has all my contacts, notes,tasks, appointments on it....so I am totally out of touch.

Happened to me Monday/Tuesday....I was suffed

[butter fingers]

all types of phone are for my conveniance only.i have educated my friends that when they ring to leave a message on the answer machine and when conveniant i will phone back.if i get a call with no caller i.d. i ignore the call and never use my phone for calls from companys asking me to call back or confirm something or other and as for texts curse of the world.my mobile same thing and is used mainly for work.the fun of having a mobile soon wears thin when you have to carry up to three mobiles pager radio and two big sets of keys all fighting for space in your pockets.

I am about to find out as I am using the spare phone we keep after loosing mine, now daughters is broken and I would rather she has a phone than me so I will be without till one of us buys a new one and I fear it will be for more than a week

[Headfry]

Nope - no way, But I could live without the television!!! EASY

Yeah, as long as I have the internet, and can actually survive without either for a couple of weeks at a time (on holiday).
The phone is even more fundamental when on holiday, as there is no other phone available for several miles.....

I went onto contract because i never topped my credit up on my phone, now ive done that i never remember to re charge the blessed thing! Sub conciously i think i am trying not to actually be contacted on it, though it is useful when car breaks down or there is an emergency. Would find it harder to live without the internet as i use that far more for work, rest and play.
