Are you a NOMOPHOBE? Chances are you are..........
Nomophobia is the fear of not having mobile phone contact. So do you freak out if you don't have your phone on you or if you can't locate it? So many rely on their phones and have tons of apps.
I'm proud to say I'm not. I have a standard phone that just rings and takes messages. No frills.

Yup. I am very much like that. I was telling my professor once about how my phone died and I didn't have it for a week. He was shocked. "But you're so addicted to that thing!"0

I actually hate my phone. I leave it at home when I go to the gym and often forget it. It's a 4G android phone so super smart and app-y n' stuff. Unfrotunately, I have to be reached for work easily.0

I hate not having my phone with me. I don't text and talk a lot, but I like knowing that I'm reachable. And I use the facebook, mfp, and google maps app a lot, plus safari for the occasional thing I need to look up! Plus it has all my music on it!0
-
I am unfortunately. However, I work with several very well to do persons (when I say well to do, I mean VERY wealthy and smart .... like hate debt, love debt free living). They have a no frills phone and it surprised me the first few times I saw this (phone rings and they pull out their phone and flip it open). Then I began to see a pattern .... hmmmmm.0

I love my smartphone, but I never take it to the gym.0

after my car accident I was away from my phone for 2 WHOLE WEEKS!! OMG! I thought I was going to lose it, but my laptop was by my side that whole time, lol.0 -
I don't think so. My phone is pretty low tech compared to most. No data plan or apps. The only thing that really makes me carry a phone is to be reachable if there is an emergency with the wife and/or kids.0

i only freak out when it rings, i dont like talking to people0

iPhone here but aside from MFP, I don't really have games or apps. For $34 month unlimited everything I may as well have the connectivity. With all the travel I do for work it's a necessity simply for the gps feature.0

That's me! Don't like debt so I pay it off ASAP and will sacrifice to do it. Guess that's why I'm such a cheap skate.I am unfortunately. However, I work with several very well to do persons (when I say well to do, I mean VERY wealthy and smart .... like hate debt, love debt free living). They have a no frills phone and it surprised me the first few times I saw this (phone rings and they pull out their phone and flip it open). Then I began to see a pattern .... hmmmmm.
Oh and I have a flip phone too.

sadly, some of us with the old flip phones are just dinosaurs lol...I wish I was well to do
I have the old flip phone that you have to press the buttons three times to get to the correct letter...I get irritated with it when I text, but otherwise don't care...I don't have web access on my phone, I'm on the computer enough as it is LOL. 0 -
I've got a Galaxy s2 and I love it but there are times when I leave my phone at home on purpose. It can be rather freeing0

I found my twin!!
My phone is also "generic," no texting, no apps, not internet access, just a fancy ring and VM. Take pictures, keep pictures can't send them to anybody. Most of the time the phone is off, in another room, or sleeping in my handbag.0 -
Nope, all my friends are though :laugh:0
-
Well I freak out if I don't know where my phone is, but I can have it on silent and not look at it for over half the day... so no I don't think I am.0
