I am not the one to check my phone all the time. No need to.I know plenty here check their phones all the time. Do you constantly check your phone, even when you shouldn’t? How much self-control do you have? I have good self control.No problems

My phone stays in my purse, I check when I wake because I always have it on silent unless I am expecting a call, I check mid day and once more at night before bed. I am not attached to toting a phone, never will be.

I often check my phone, it's difficult for me to control myself using gadgets

I threw my phone out the window a long time ago. One of my pet peeves. One of my friends has a serious problem with not being able to get off his phone. Constantly have to yell at him, dude put down your damn phone. Went with him to Laughlin and was like dude you are on vacation and you pretty much doing the same thing you do at home. Why didn't you just stay home?

When it comes to the phone, lots. I need to remember to put it on charge, that's how often I use it - almost never.

My phone is sitting on my night stand, (still charging) I don't know why, and I haven't used it in over a month. Whenever I do turn it on, it says "storage full." Even though I deleted everything. All text threads, all photos. But the storage is still full. Nice phone. I'M GETTING A NEW PHONE IN EXACTLY 6 DAYS.

@amadeo I saw a Samsung Galaxy on sale at Kroger for $24.99. It's an older model, but I don't care. I like it. And then I'll just get one of those phone cards instead of paying monthly, because I rarely talk on a cell phone. I just use it for texting and taking pics! 5 MORE DAYS

I hardly pay any attention to my telephone when it is not needed! I just pick up the phone if I receive any call or when I need to call to any one. I have got good self control on myself ! Thanks!

Well there are many different kinds of self control that you can describe from in here. The one you have is your self control to watch your phone constantly. I think mine is self control to burst my anger when in a situation that demands me to be angry. I think that I could control my anger to the point that my opponent would be the one who gets angrier with me coz he could not solicit any reaction from me. LOL!

Honestly, I do check it more often than I should. I do try not to do it so often. Sometimes, it's difficult.

I'm on my phone often doing mylot, playing games, taking photos and videos, texting or phone calls, and doing social media. so I don't really "check it".. just have a lot of things I can do on it. But I don't have to be, and theres been many days I go without touching it much.

I often don't even remember i have to check my phone especially if i am at home and don't expect anyone to give me a call or what. most of my friends are online so if i am only i can chat with them when I am on the computer. =) If i am out of the house and is on travel and have nothing else to do i am basically always on my phone anyway.

I don't check my phone very often. Actually I often get this kind of messages: "I called you several times, why don't you answer your phone" or "Why didn't you answer my text message" Me:"Sorry, my phone was in my bag and my bag was in another room" No, I am not addicted to my cell phone
