Good Day! My dear mylottors, Hope you are enjoying your wonderful weekend! I have a question for you, is your cell phone 24 hours on? Me, i did not use to do that, i always turn my cell phone off when i go to sleep, because i don't want any one to disturb my beautiful sleep. But things have changed, I am working far away from my hometwon, i need to keep my cell phone 24 hours on just in case my family needs me. So my cell phone is 24 hours on now just for my family. What about you? Thanks for sharing.

I always keep my cellphone on. I really don't like to hassle with waiting for it to turn on or off and having the feature of being able to put your phone on silent really helps when you are trying to sleep etc. and don't want to be disturbed. For me most of the time I just keep my phone on vibrate and it works out great. But also I'm figuring its more of a norm to not turn your phone off especially since when you are at a movie theater instead of the commercials saying please turn off your cellphone they are now saying please silence your cellphone.

It's different when you are in a meeting or watch a movie in a cinema. Turn off your cell phone or turn it into silence showing your good manner.

I rarely turn off my handphone even at night. At night, my handphone will serve as my alarm clock. My handphone is always on even though there is no phone line connection in here.

yes my cellphone is indeed turned on for 24hours.Even when it's charging it is still on. My phone is used for a lot of activities, incomming and outgoing calls,text messaging, internet browsing, music, games, photos, videos .. I turn it on silent when im about to sleep though and just set it to vibrate.

I have 3 cell phones and only one is kept on 24/7. the other two are switched off after 7pm everyday. since I stay back with family in the evenings, the need for switching it on does not arise. i prefer to spend the evenings peacefully rather than talking to someone.

yes,my cell phone is on 24 hours, because i works far away form my home, so i want to know whatever happened for my family as soon as possible, except the batterly ran out,my mon will called me at any time when she was very free, so if she can't find me on cell, she will get very worried,then several bad imager will be issued in her mind,i don't want she worried,so, i often turn my cell phone 24 hours on. good luck and have a nice day.

Yes mine is 24 hours on. I never off it. It only turns off when its battery runs out LOL. Most of the time my cell is on vibration as cells are not allowed it college still we take it and keep it in silent mode and then i never remember to remove it. So during nights i never understand also if i get some rings. But for emergencies we do have a landline so no worries. Well happy myotting.

Yes. it is on 24/7 as long as it has battery because you never know when you will receive important text messages and calls especially during emergencies.
