Could you live without a cellphone?

Would you be able to survive without a cellphone? You would still have all the other technologies and electricity and so on, but not your cellphone. If you can't live without it, what is your reason for it? And also if you can live without it, how would you do it on a daily basis?

Yes, I can live without my cellphone. I just use it anyway as an alarm clock. I'll just buy an alarm clock instead. My survival doesn't depend on it, hence I can live even without it.

@rina110383 Most days that's all I use my cellphone too. At most I probably make 2-3 calls per MONTH, and I hardly ever send a text message. I do receive a few important text messages though, mixed in with a lot of spam.

Piece of cake. I don't own a cell. I use a landline to handle the solicitors as that's about all that calls anyway.

@JohnRoberts I'm impressed. I'm far most used to hearing people saying that they don't have a landline. That's something I'd hate to live without.

I, myself can say that I can live without it. I tried this once in my life when I had my mission in Central Asia. I think there are so many ways to communicate with other people by using internet with computers.

You must be very young to ask such a question. As others have said, there was life before cell phones, incredible as it may seem to you.

Most, if not all, of us grew up without a mobile phone. What difference will it make if these mobile phones suddenly disappear?

@bacon147 Not just some, but many. Reason? Because they have to be connected to the internet, they have to be up to date with what's happening with their friends and the person they are following on social media sites, something that can actually be done with a computer.

I can't live without a cellphone because I make money using my iPhone most old people cannot understand that because life was different during their time and some young people do not know how to make money on mobile.

I bought a cheap mobile for call and texting use only. So my smartphone and other gadgets are all for my online activities/business.. I dont know, since getting older I find it inconvenient to use touch screened phones for calling.lol.

@happytobehereagain I have cheap cellphones for calls and SMS too because the battery last longer than iOS and Android.

I cannot live without it. The reason being how else will my clients contact me. It is essential for my work. I may decide not to use it but I cant expect others would . It may not be nice if you excessively use it but ya If I do not use, it will most definitely affect my work.

That is a good question. I got my cell phones late in life. I have my Smartphone to save on my phone bill so only hear messages from my landline and make calls on my smartphone. If bills were not so expensive here I could live without it, but, since they are it saves me on paying a lot.
