There are many advantages and disadvantages when it comes to using a mobile phone. For me the most obvious advantage is: Being able to contact (or be contacted by) somebody in the event of an emergency. Disadvantage would be that they are expensive to replace if they get lost or stolen.

Advantage: helps in keeping in touch always Disadvantage: sometimes it rings up in the middle of a sound sleep

Well... One of the advantage would be a convinience. One of the disadvantage for me is being "too avaliable". I know I don't have to answer the phone. But there are times when I wish I didn't have a phone at all.

Well, for me i think the advantage of mobile phone is that by using this, we can now communicate or contact our love ones or other people who are miles away from us. The disadvantage of this is that if you used to use this all the time you can be addicted to it.

for me, there are many advantages and disadvantages of using mobile phone. Advantage will be like other responses, easy to communicate, easy to ask and give instruction , can be use to find friends and also i can for music and games. Disadvantages will be first, it will require cost per text or call, subject for misunderstanding of two or more persons communicating.

There are lots of advantages to using a cell phone, one being the ease of use, and being able to communicate with my daughter who lives miles away from me. We do keep in touch everyday, so that is an advantage for me. Other advantages, are that I can access the internet wherever I go, and I can still do what I need to do. The only disadvantage would be that they are expensive, so if I would drop it or lose it, it would be very expensive to replace it. I hope I never have that happen, and so far I haven't. Since it is the only phone i have, I would be lost without it. Take care, and have a great day.
