What do you do with your phone?

Thank you everybody! I'm going to look into the belts and running buddy. My workout gear doesn't have pockets and while I can prop my phone up on the treadmill that doesn't work on the rower or any of the weight machines.

I love my spibelt too. I have a Blackberry Z10 (ok ok, no hate mail please lol), it's big, and it fits in my spibelt along with my keys.

iPod for music and it lives in my bra- phone stays in the bag- comes out for between sets- or videoing sets.

I do use it to watch netflix on the stairmaster.

Need to use the stair master so I can do this stat do you happen to have wifi in your gym? I get concerned about using too much data sometimes

I'm on sprint unlimited- so I don't care. and I have never checked for wi-fi b/c of that LOL
- its' great- that's the only way I can stay on there for more than 15 minutes- with a good show on there- I can make it about an hour.

Aww dang. Ever since the sprint customer service rep told me he'd get riiiiiiiiiight on that when I complained about too many dead zones in my little town I signed up with AT&T and have never looked back. There may be some great options out there though. Even T mobile may be fine here

I've actually taken really well to not listening to music when I run (headphones aren't permitted at most of the races I do, anyway). I use my Garmin for GPS/time tracking.

If I feel I need to carry it for safety purposes, I have two options - a fannypack-like belt that has a nice pocket for my phone and car key for short runs, and an "add-on" pocket that fits my phone/key that goes on my hydration belt for long runs. For my bike, I got a phone carrier stem bag.

I use a neoprene arm band for my phone, but I've found that it annoys me less and is more accessible if I wrap the arm band around my forearm instead of my upper arm. If I need to take a photo, I just take off the band and slip the phone out of the neoprene sleeve enough to expose the rear camera.

some places do- it's worth checking on that though!!!

yeah I was grandfathered in under Verizon unlimited till my parents kicked me off- and at the time I was using 2 gigs in under 14 days- no way I could survive on their plan. Since I'm in NJ- which is pretty populated so coverage kind of HAS to be good- I do pretty well- I mostly just only need it in my house- work and the studio- I get nothing in the back of the studio- but mostly everywhere else it works. My BF had to switch off b/c he moved and the only place that has covered for him is Verizon- which makes visiting a PITA- but no biggie- once a month I can live w/o full coverage!

carriers are a racket all the way around though. good luck with it!!! some places totally have wi-fi so it's worth asking!
