How long could you go without your mobile phone?

Travelled on a train recently which is something i rarely do and was amazed at the amount of people gripped to mobile phones busy sending messages,playing games,watching videos and making calls.Could you actually get by without your mobile phone as an experiment for a short period of time, how many calls/texts made and sent are really an emergency?

Hardly ever use it - apart from the alarm clock. Now my Blackberry, on the other hand... whilst i'm awake I check it at least every 30 minutes0

Sad to say but i just can't do without it- Run my own business and need to be available pretty well all the time just in case.
Don't wear a watch-even use it for that.0 -

Thats something I find Stan, lots of people now when asked the time produce a phone from their pockets instead of glancing at their wrists. Also when you do find yourself without your mobile do you feel like a dog without a lead (i.e free) or lost and directionless0 -
I carry 2 mobiles. Couldn't live without either of them for very long.0

use my blackberry constantly....0

TBH- i just don't find myself without my mobile.
Think i read somewhere that more youngsters now use their thumbs for things like doorbells because of their increased usage due to mobile phones. Wouldn't suprise me.0 -
i've left my mobile at home today which i do on the odd occasion by mistake. wont feel too lost during the day as have email and desk phone but if i was going out tonight i'd feel a bit weird without it. just in case i needed to ring the other half to say i was waylaid another hour in the pub or something unusual like that!0

although i've never had a mobile that works abroad, and must say its fantastic having a week or two complete break from it.
Its even better when you switch it on at Gatwick and have 28 texts telling you the scores when you've stuffed West ham 4-0 !!0 -
I like the freedom of leaving it at home sometimes - and on hols only turn it on to check every couple of days.
Once a month everyone should have a mobile-phone-free day!0 -
Hate mobiles but in modern life they are required, if all of a sudden every single mobile stopped working it would not be a bad thing.0

Just upgraded to a Blackberry. I'm never going to get another make of phone. I'd be lost without it and the battery life is superb. At least three full days before it needs to be recharged.0

Don't ask.
It's held in the same contempt as that I held ipods when they were the new thing on the block0 -
My mobile sits on the bedside table as an alarm clock. The only other use is to receive updates from Charlton by text.0

One of the curses of modern day living, but lost without it....... I have a Love hate relationship with my mobile, I love to hate it.... but at the same time lost without it. Bit like the motor car and the internet that will define the times we live in.
If you can walk to work, write letters and be amused/entertained by the radio.... good for you!0 - Sponsored links:

I'd happily do without my mobile for the rest of my life. Wife uses it to tag me.
Blackberry for work use is a very useful tool. Will ditch it when I retire though.0 -
Been in prison this week and you're not allowed to take them in.
Seems odd at break times not to check messages etc but you get used to it.
mobiles mean you'll never again hear at a match "Can Mr Jones please call home as his wife has just gone into labour" followed by a big cheer/laugh.0 -
Only carry the company's mobile as they like to check on where I am etc. If they do happen to ring when I'm in a caff I have to nip outside sharpish so that it sounds like I'm in traffic somewhere. Always mislaying it and know that if I had one of my own as well it would be lost within a day or two.0

What a jail term for wearing cardys ?0 -

Interesting to hear you have been banged up, however temporarily, but how do these villains manage to update their facebook threats?
In a theatre I went to in Moscow there was a disrupting but inaudible signal transmitted that prevented cellular use.
I would vote for the Japanese sustem, where good manners alone mean people understand they dont want to hear boring twats shouting their inane grunts on public transport0 -

Mine is usually turned off - much to the annoyance of Mrs Muse.
I'm generally a fan of technology but I've never warmed to the mobile.0
