Cell phones, do you carry one at all times???

i hate cell phones only guilty of answering the phone or the doorbell maybe half the time if I don't feel like it I just ignore it I had to have a pager for 5 years, like having a leash on my neck really. Thats why I don't want one. Have only used one like 7 times.

It's true that cell phone has become a necessity for almost everyone. I have to acknowledge that the invention of cell phone is quite technological advance, making communication convenient for people. Though you are in different places, with a cell phone, you can get touch with each other in a few seconds, that's really fantastic. As for me, I'm used to carry my cell phone with me all times, not only for commmunicating, but also for looking at time, cause I have no watch since I bought the cell phone. I can not see if there's any inconvenientness in bring a cell phone. Anyhow, it's useful to us. So, try to get used to it, and don't bother about it.

I had more fun and laughter reading the responses. I refilled my laughter glass today. My husband carries his cell phone constantly because I am disabled and he wants to be available if I fall or need him. We forward our home phone to his cell phone in when we leave the house. When we may be separated while we are out, I carry my cell phone to stay in touch with him, again due to my disablity. He does not talk on the cell phone while driving. The bases have prohited talking while driving. I don't drive. Some of my friends have no landline, they use their cell phones as their home phone. It is less expensive, has long distance, if there are two of you, free minutes back and forth, etc. There are many advantages, as well as disadvantages to cell phones. The most important issues, use common sense. DO NOT TALK WHILE DRIVING. There are a few others I am sure you can think of.

Well. I'm one of those people who usually has it with me all the time. My husband and I both have cells; we don't have a landline. And yes, I do talk on it in public, around other people, etc, but unless I'm expecting an important call or an emergency comes up, I usually just tell whoever calls that I'm busy and will call them back later. But like you, if my husband or the people I'm with are carrying on long conversations that aren't all that important, I do get annoyed at times. For example, if hubby and I are at a nice restaurant and he's talking to one of his work buddies about something non-essential that can wait, I do get annoyed.

I do carry my cell phone with me when I go out but the reason for this is that I want my children to be able to get a hold of me if they need me for something . I don't use it very often and consider it more for emergencies then anything else . If I am busy I don't answer the phone either and since we don't have a door bell , I don't have to worry about that . Anyone who knows me just walks in as we don't take the time to answer the door and it is always open as we live in an area where everyone leaves the door open for friends and family and we don't have to worry about crime as in other places .

it's crazy how much it has changed since I was in high school. When I was in high school no one had cell phones, and if I needed to call for a ride, I used the pay phone in the lobby. Now, everyone has a cell phone. And sometimes I wonder if it's really so important that they know whatever it is they're talking about. Why can't it wait until they're home? It's crazy, some of the conversations people will have on their cell phones, without realizing that the people around them can hear it all. I've heard some really personal stuff from people on their cell phones. But yet, I carry mine around all the time. I used to feel naked at work without it, but that's because I used my cell phone as a watch.

Cell phones are very important for me to be connected to everyone and keeps me updated on whatever happens in the office and home... thats very important for me...

I am guilty of this I am afraid, I am pretty much always available! If I am somewhere like the cinema or am doing something I consider to be important I don't answer or have it switched off. But I am nearly always contactable!

I am someone who brings my cell phone everywhere with me, for several reasons. I know what you mean though, people can be really rude about it. I try to not be rude by using my cell phone when I'm with other people or out to dinner. I have no problem just ignoring a call if I'm busy or with someone, or I will put it on silent even so that it doesn't disrupt things. One of my main reasons for bringing it everywhere with me is not necessarily because I want to be constantly available to everyone, but so that I have it in case of an emergency. Since I do a lot of driving, I really like having my cell phone with me in case I ever have car problems, etc. I've had to use it several times for that purpose, and even to call 911 for someone else when I witnessed an accident, so I always want to make sure I have it with me when I go out. My number one reason for having my phone with me at all times right now is because my husband is in Iraq right now, and I definitely don't want to miss those calls for anything. That's one call that I would take no matter who I'm with, but fortunately my friends are understanding of those ones! :)

Cell phones have certainly changed the world and how people have to be on one all the time. In my house we only use cell phones. If I am out to dinner, out with friends or whatever in less it's my spouse or kids I do not answer the phone. What I get upset about is I have one friend who is always on it and expects me to answer it everytime she calls. The times I don't and when I call her back I always get "where were you" or "I see your screening your calls again" and that is totally not it!! I don't have to answer it all the dang time, do I?!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I do carry my cell phone at all times. My cell phone is my ONLY phone so I just take it with me wherever I go. I like that I can make a call to 911 if there is an emergency or a friend if I run out of gas. I don't have to anwser it if I don't feel like it :)

Cellphones nowadays are very important tool in keeping up with the pace of life. It made communications easier. And i, for myself, will still be carrying one all the time so that my family, my friends, my coworkers will easily contact me in case of emergency or any other activities.

I am one of those people who have a cell phone but only my mom has the number.If there is an emergency at home which I am needed for then she will call and let me know. I do not use the cell phone for anything else. I am the type who doesn't even like to talk on the phone.

I have two teenagers so my phone is always with me. However, I do not use my cell phone very much except for the purpose of talking to them or my husband. I hate seeing people using their phone, especially when they are driving which is against the law. I also hate when they use them in restaurants. One time when I was eating out with my husband, a man began having a fight on his cell phone and cursing up a storm. This was a small restaurant and everyone could hear him. I finally turned around and told him to shutup and everyone else applauded.

I usually have my cellphone on me everywhere I go. I usually don't talk on it all the time or anything, it's more of a lifeline. If something goes wrong, it's nice to have because I can make a phone call and get help. I never take my cell phone to class because I find it annoying and very rude if a phone rings during lecture.

My husband carries his and we take it with us the only good thing about it is that we ran out of gas the other day and we had to use it to get help that is why they are important.

I always have my cell phone in my pocket, for the reason of i don't wanna miss some important calls. But when i am only in my house, i just leave it on the table with a high volume. Three years ago, back then in my home land, i mean country, which is Philippines, i am a cell phone addict... lol, and text addict too. I don't know, it's seems like i can't complete my day without even touching it. But things change though. So thats my before and after about cell phone. Cheers=)

I keep my cell phone with me at all times, but I often have it on silent mode, if someone wants to reach me they have to leave a message and I will get back to them when it's convenient for me. I don't like talking on the phone in the car for one, I think it's distracting and dangerous. And if I am somewhere with my family, I would rather spend the time with them than on the phone. But I carry it, because you never know when you will need it.

I will honestly say that i do carry a cell phone with me wherever i go. I also answer it whenever i'm with friends, and family. Its not such a big deal, in this day and age you need one around. Its just a safety precaution with my family, simply because we have a small child and we want to be able to call on a moments notice to an ambulance etc. I also happen to have several relatives that are invaleds and need help on the spur of the moment, so i need to be available if they call. People like to be available outside of the home, in case of emergency. I know alot of people that simply carry a cell phone only because of telemarketers, they're not allowed to call cellphones. Its just nice to be able to be reached when outside the home, its not a necessity; but a luxury.

i am a person who never leaves home without my cell phone..i have kids and my husband is a truck driver who is only home 2-3 days a week so this is our way of keeping in touch..also like i mentioned i have kids and when you have kids contact is important but before the cell phone boom it was the pager era and i had one of those as well.. its a convienient way to be contacted.. as for driving ..well if your driving i do feel that you should have some sort of handsfree device seems from what i notice there are alot of people who want to talk on the phone but cannot operate a car safely while doing so with one hand on the wheel..i myself have a bluetooth device that i use when behind the wheel..
