My phone stopped working on Friday.. Have to find a functioning phone tomorrow..
When I was a kid, we had no phone, and as young, I had no phone for long periods. I was thinking, how could we manage?
Have you been without a phone - how did you feel? There used to be phone boxes here and there, but have not seen any lately..

We are so used to phones - but it can be good to remeber our time as we were younger, if we some time lose our phone connections...

Yes, we might need a phone box some time.. But I got a new phone now, and can use my Halebop phone card.. At least it has saved all the numbers I am used to..

I have had instances where I was without a phone. I didn't really feel lost, more like agitated. I check my phone a lot or use my phone to tap it because I have ADD and it helps me focus haha So then I have to find like a string or something if I don't have my phone so I can fidget.

A phone can be very useful at times.. Maybe helps to remember things??

I think it would be difficult to be without a phone, but maybe we have to prepare for that possibility too, as human technology can fail..

We want to be available in case someone needs us and the phone is the quickest way to be reached. These days they are vital, especially in emergencies.

Yes, I bought a new phone and am still learning some features - but it works OK, and the card I had, had almost all the phone numbers that were working on my earlier phones..

Now I simply can't imagine I have no smartphone.Every morning the first thing I do is to watch the Wechat (similar to Skype) after I wake up.We still have phone boxes here and there.
