Leave Your Mobile Phone at Home Day

[Justice]

I like the freedom of not being tied to a mobile and being out of contact personally .... bit like a ball and chain .... backward

its a phone you don't have to answer it but one day it could save your life or somebody else's.

Meanwhile back in the days of the payphone everyone just accepted death as a hazard of being human in the pre-mobile technology era.

One can choose whether to answer/make calls/look at internet on their phone. You can have it on you and not engage with it. I sometimes watch TV and find it's annoying me. I switch ot off, I don't unplug it and put it at the end of the garden.

More than able to give it up for a day. Nobody rings me on it anyway...

I would struggle without one during my day to day life but when I'm on holiday I can happily go without it for the day.

I doubt that there is a single person signed up to NSC that doesn't have a mobile phone. I'll happily leave mine at home for a day

Err........sorry.

I would love to do this and could possibly think of doing it at a weekend - during the working week I'm allegedly a telecoms manager and expected to be 'available' at all times - it's also how I do most of my work so would struggle to not have it with me.

I done it once, completely by accident.
Got all the way to ramsgate, went to phone the engineer I was meeting, then realised I'd brought the telly remote instead of my phone

Top man, that is funny.

Brilliant idea and would greatly benefit people.....Forgotten mine numerous times and don't miss it to be honest

 

[Garage_Doors]

Do we really believe those backward f.ucks who claim they don't own a mobile phone?

Its not a hard one to realise surely? i know several people that don't have a use for a mobile phone.
Why are they "backards" for not needing/wanting or have a use for a mobile phone?

I like this. Better than "Drop your iphone down the toilet day" which we are celebrating here today.

Depends on your definition. I don't have a mobile phone. However I am provided with a mobile phone for work as I have no work landline. Nonetheless, I often have no mobile contact at the weekends ( to the annoyance of my family).

I was thinking leisure and am quite surprised that along with you there are three on this thread who can get by without mobiles. Good to see that some people have resisted

I remember being able to make arrangements to meet friends/girlfriends a week in advance, and just being able to turn up without having made a call to the person for a week or so. Girls, especially, nowdays seem to need to phone the person they are meeting as they are getting ready to go and meet them.
