The fear of no mobile phone contact. Rate yourself 1 to ten with 1 being "I don't have a mobile phone." and 10 being actual heart palpitations if you realize you don't have the phone with you! I'm somewhere around a 7. Hugs, Devlyn

I do have one, so by your directions I should be #1; but if the services go out forever, I will not drop a single tear. I think the cells are great for emergencies, and that is.

Alas, I see my daoughters having a hart attack when they misplace their phones. When I want to make do something and they refuse, I use the ultimate "triple dog dare you:" I will cut your service, and like magic they obediently do what Dad wants; so perhaps in a second thought I would like to change my view of cells and call them a God sent device

Wonderful work my Dear.

Good question raised. Can I please opt for a 17-20, and can I have chips with that too please?

I have sooooo much 'stuff' on my phone, totally unrealted to actual phone calls, that I would more than die if I lost it.

Yes so in the world of 'phobics', please notch me up as one of those you mentioned. And yes, it is all backed up, but it is the sheer inconvenience of not having it until another unit is arranged.

You know I still can't get over the acceptance you have received at work. That is really astronomical. That must have really put you over the moon.

Trust you are healing well.

Be safe, well and happy
Lotsa huggs

2 - I'm exactly like Logan. I have it, but it's an "emergency" phone, and it's off so often that friends/family go crazy.

It would feel odd to be without it but I could manage for a week or two without it if I have to.

I think I'll place myself at 7-8 because the phone is a lifeline for me.
I need to be reachable.
Too many responsibilities to be unreachable.

Further to the subject, having just come back from another interstate trip, I listed what my phone does for me and I nearly freaked out.

It's my 1) phone, 2) GPS, 3) Music centre, 4) Camera, both still & video, 5) email, 6) fax machine, 7) web browser, alarm clock, 9) eBook reader, 10) watch, 11) contractor locator, 12) international clock - so I don't inadvertently wake someone up in the middle of the night, overseas 13) TV guide - HA, whenever that is, 14) weather report - including local realtime weather radar - ideal for outdoor broadcasts. 15) Contact & address book. 16) Phone book - both local & international. 17) Diary, 18) SMS, 19) Note taker. 20) Skype interface, 21) Calculator, 22) Post code finder, 23) Bank interface, 24) Units converter, 25) radio, 26) Spell checker, 27) Distance finder, 28) Wikipedia & dictionary, 29) Shopping list reminder, 30) Bar code reader, 31) Language translator, 32) Airline booking interface, 33) airline boarding pass - they text them to you now, 34) Restraurant finder, 35) Facebook interface, 36) Twitter interface, 37) and during those idle moments waiting in airport lounges, I have 3 games I can relax with.

And yes all that horrible Social media stuff is essential work related stuff. Needless to say, if I lose it, I'm lost. Isn't that dreadful. I know a lot of you are going to throw up over this.

Be safe, well and happy.

i've never cared about mobile phones.  not that i hate them or anything, i just don't find any use for them beyond occasional phone calls and nothing that i couldn't do with the landline.  the only useful thing about them is that they can be carried around, and i usually end up leaving it at home anyway. 

I had mobile phones for business purposes, I have one now for emergencies when I am on the road.  But needing one or afraid to be without one NOT IN THE SLIGHTEST.

I grew up with a party line phone, I was taught that phones were for important calls only, not something to spend all day on.  I don't even like it when my home phone rings, much less the mobile I carry in the car (which isn't on all the time anyway).

I think it is so silly when I see the people in the grocery store on the phone the entire time, or driving with it up to their ear for mile after mile.  There really can't be that many important, much less even mildly interesting things to talk about.

I don't have a Mobile phone. I can live without it. I have the freedom to not be tethered to anyone. I use my iPod for surfing the net, chat with friends, update Facebook, etc. And I have an xbox 360 if I want to play games.

I ALWAYS have my phone with me. I have forgotten it at home, I believe once, and I did okay but I feel naked without it. However, a few years ago, me and my hubby didn't have cell phones for a couple of years so I know I can live without it. I'll rate myself a 7.

Pretty much a function of how much time you spend away from your domicile. 

I carry it for emergencies and occasional short get in touch call.  rate me 4.

This is easy, 1 i don't have a mobile phone LOL!...actually i thought i was the only one who didn't own one in this day and age, guess i'm not alone .

I guess I'm around a 2 or3.  I have a phone, but it's usually on silent on a counter somewhere.  When my last phone broke, I spent almost 2 months without one and kind of liked it.  I don't like being easy to get a hold of, and there's nothing on my phone I can't deal with better on my computer.

I have a mobile phone, but the only reason I do is that I hate talking on the phone ... but more than that I hate talking on the phone when someone else can hear me.
So because of that I don't use the house phone, and use my mobile to make all sorts of important calls and whatnot. I only have 1 friend that occasionally texts me.

So all in all, I'd say I'm pretty much a 2-3. It'd be inconvenient to not have one anymore because I'd have to use the house phone, but I don't really care that much.

about a 12.

probably a 9 or a 10... i can physically go to the restroom, but if it's not in hand, i can't do anything... >_>

Maybe a 3 or 4? I'm useless with replying to texts.

2.

I have one, but it's more an expensive paperweight than really used for anything.
