Can you live without your mobile phone?

[PakLFC]

I am doing an experiment to see how long I can live without my mobile phone. Doing just fine without it for four days now. My laptop and landline are able substitutes. Now I am wondering what all the fuss is all about when seeing people obsessed with their mobile phone always texting or taking silly selfies. I have read that mobile phones also cause serious health problems as well. Try giving it up for a few days.

Laptop would be difficult but I could easily live without a smartphone.

No. Get restless if I lose access to reddit/quora/twitch for too long.

Don't really need a smartphone. Need to make calls/video conferences for business but have Whatsapp/Skype on my on my laptop. Don't use twitter, instagram etc.

I like having a smartphone, but don't really use it for much other than texting or Whatsapp which can be annoying. I've seen people using them to watch films, do google searches and everything, I don't know how they do it.

So the answer is - I don't really see the need to go without my phone, it's not like I'm using it that much.

I can easily go without it, I only really need it for Google Maps or Whatsapp/Calls. Other than that I'm not too active on social media and when I'm bored at someplace I generally browse through PP and see if anything interesting is being talked about. So without my cell, I wouldn't be able to browse PP which isn't a big deal as I can do that on my computer.

Yes. I only use my phone for going on Snapchat. That's it.

Personally I find it more convenient and easier to just do all this stuff from my phone.

 

[Justcrazy]

Yes , I can live without phone.

 

[Abdul]

Yes , I can live without phone.

What about that magical number you've been chasing for last eight years?

 

[cricketworm]

Yes, but not without internet.

My wife can't.

 

[introvert]

No I can't since I don't own any other computing device my smartphone is my go to device for almost every task.
My smartphone does calling,texting,social networking,web browsing,it is also portable media player, a pocket camera, reading device etc basically jack of all trades but master of none.
A laptop or tablet can provide much better use of tasks listed above for me specially at home Use.
So I dearly want a good 2in1 hybrid laptop that can provide tablet use wish I could buy surface book.

I'd lose my snapchat streaks

In all seriousness, I doubt I could go more than a day without my phone due to the fact I use social media such as whatsapp, instagram, snapchat a lot.
