Who's Using Mine?

Not me

Yes, and most of the day

No, it's normally off

No

No, don't go out

No, don't go out

Yes, but only sometimes as I only use it for emergeny when out driving

 

Mine is on all the time, but I never really use it. Only occasionally I might use it to text friends if I can't get hold of them via my land line.

If I'm out it goes on to silent mode ( vibrates in pocket).

I like the feeling of always being contactable to our children. Also my phone is linked to my elderly father's and my disabled brother's emergency call out alarm.

 

Like you Shiney, I don't use one but T'Other Half has one superglued to him. He also is a Facebook person. I find none of it benefits our life except that it is useful when out in case of emergencies. Sadly most Portuguese use them, even businesses. It is weird to see little old widows, all in black, hunched over hobbling along with cane and a mobile phone to their ear!

 

Exactly Woo!!:bigthumb:

 

I should put this in the 'latest moan' thread really ...but....(keep it clean Loli ) I hate the damned things.Yes I do have a mobile (for emergencies only) but otherwise it's sat there stagnant.
I have had no end of conversations about Fakebook and the likes and I'll never grasp why a 'family' member want you to be a 'friend'..They are Family for christ sake,they know where
I live if you want to speak to me then pop round and do it...
Annndddd as for those that are glued to their phones at dinner parties and functions I think it's down right ignorant.....

Annnnd breathe...

 

Exactly the way I use mine! Quite happily, there are still areas of this country, especially in the north that are mobile free. There is no coverage.

I always thought a trunk call was a Doctor making a home visit to a sick owl...

 

It's not a new thing, we saw this in Rome:



Mine has buttons and a camera for novelty value, but nothing smart in it. I can call and text. It's always on silent so I tend to miss all my calls as it's not usually in my pocket. Not getting any Good Mother/ daughter points there

 

I would want to sell my mobile offsetting just in case some one is thinking of taking a self-eeeeeee and falls off a high wall or eaten by a croc etc I don't want to be responsible for their death

 

So was the Buddhist monk gaming instead of praying?

My phone is basically for emergencies. I can't remember when it was last used. Being pay as you go, it's got to be three years since I last put £10 on it and that hasn't been used.
