Nowadays, almost all people have mobile phone even the younger ones. They said its a must to have a mobile phone BUT for me i CAN live without mobile phone. Right now I have 2 phones but i don't use it more often. Sometimes its low battery already but i don't really care haha, maybe because mobile phone is not a must for me. share your thoughts

I find it stupid, i know some 13 years old "kids" that have mobiles from 3 months ago and they want a new one because "this one it's much better and it's very cool", and they usually do it to "look cool" and brag about it, for example: Kid1:"Look at my new phone, it's super cool and it ONLY

hi there, well here in our place even the students from primary was carrying a cellphone already. And sometimes they are fond of changing their phone more often. Now, that there are phones who are cheaper than before and they can afford to buy new one they keep on doing it. Well. my phone was really old already and not think to change it at this time.

Phones were made to talk from distances and from everywhere, now, they uses are take photos, make videos, listen to music...That's just...a bit lame.

If you want to get connected to people then mobile is a must these days. The choice is yours. There are still many in the world without mobile phones and they are still enjoying life as presented to them.

Hi there, appreciate your comment here Well, its true we can live without cellphone but still we need it on our everyday transaction. I'm just happy i am not addicted to it i've known other people that they can't really live without people. A while ago i asked one of my niece is she can live without cellphone she was 12 years old if I'm not mistaken and she said that "NO" cellphone is really a must and she needed it everyday

I can live without my cell phone.. it is not important to me to use my cell phone but the internet and computer is more important. With the internet and computer you can communicate with people better (to me)..

I can live without my mobile phone. It is nice to disconnect from technology on occasion. I think it is good for people to have a time where they don't have electronics in hand.

hi there, well its true also that mobile phone is a must somehow especially to those people who are working. I just don't like the idea of being addicted to it. I have known many people who can't live without it they even sleeping beside with their mobile phone. anyway, appreciate your comment here

hi kmaran wow I am your first responder, how about that? I am one of the few people in the U S I swear that doesn't have a mobile or cell phone.It has never been a must for me but my son and i were talking, and at my age it might be a good thing if I did have just the bare bones style of cell phone as what if I were someplace and found I was stranded or out of money and a long ways from home? A cell phone according to my adult son is a must for an elderly lady who is mildly physically handicapped.I can and have lived without owning one. my main concern would be the cost of the phone and cost of making calls too.

hi there hatley appreciate your comment here and your the first well, so i'm not alone who i thought i am the only one who can live without cellphone its good that still there are other people who can live without it. Well, here in the Philippines the cost was not really high that's my opinion. We usually love to send message through texting so its much cheaper than calling. But now there is a promo for unlimited call for a cheaper price so i guess cost is not really a problem here, well happy i'm not addicted to it

Well maybe because you are not always on the move and people dont call you for business and all that.
