Addicted to cell phones?

I know a lot of people who constantly have a cell phone in their hand even while spending "quality time" with family. Do you know anyone who is addicted to using their cell phone for calls or text messaging? How would you handle this situation?

I have seen people who are addicted to their cell phone but don't know anyone personally really too well. Mostly they are people on the phone while they are driving or, as you said, when they are supposed to be having quality time with their family. I think that I would take the cell phone away from the person for that time and lock it away so the addicted individual couldn't use it until a certain date. I don't think that children should be allowed to have constant acess to a cell phone either. Another way to maybe disuade them from using their cell phones is to remind the user that using one causes brain cancer! It is a scientific fact actually!
