Are you enslaved by your cellphone?

I've got an old reliable like that in a drawer somewhere, it's coming with me to the Far East in the fall for a couple weeks of disconnect. Just me 'n' my camera

Also hardly something anyone would want to steal.

I have a Jitterbug that stays in my car all the time. It waits for me, I don't wait for it.

The Frau has one of them "smert fones". Well it was smart enough to delete all of her contacts and the wonderful cloud was unable to restore them. Hence she does not have my cell number on her cell phone.

I must remedy that..... one of these days.

I had a Samsung Flight II for the longest time. That was the best phone there ever was. The thing was indestructable.

I lost it in the woods in February....found it two weeks later after it rained, snowed, and plunged to 23F.

Changed the battery and it works. I still have the thing. I'm not currently using it though. The one I currently have is a piece o' crap. A Pantech Renue.

I haven't had the thing 6 months and the screen is cracked and I think the battery is going out on me. When it goes out, maybe sometime this month...I want to reactivate my Flight II.

Cant you just swap the sim card?

Total slave, but not by choice. I have to answer business calls. What I really hate though are those "supposed" google calls for your free listing. I get those all the friggin' time. Don't really care for calls from people who have chosen not to pay rent for two months, but want their overlock off now. LMAO

I got rid of my cellphone 10 years ago. I rarely miss it.

May cell phone is an electronic leash. I'm always to have and respond to any calls. In short, I'm never off from work. Yes, a call or incoming email message is unsettling. I have the urge to answer immediately. I have too. The cell is the scourge to my sanity and peace of mind. It is expected that I'm available 24/7. It has ruined many a planned outing. Personally, I hate the damn things. When I retire I will not carry a cell phone. If I'm not reachable there is a reason for it.
