Your cell phone habits.

[MrFun]

The longest I have talked on my cell phone is a little over one hour.

[Ben Kenobi]

About once a week at minimum, more when I was working remotely from my boss, and would have to have it on during normal working hours.

I use my phone as a landline, since I found it rather a bother to pay for a landline installation whenever I moved.

I don't have hardline (at home) - only a cellular.
I also don't have hardline at work either - only a cellular there too

They both are of the very basic model - no cameras, no colourful screens, no mp3-players... but they are frigging telephones! Not some freakin' entertainment nexuses.

If I want to listen to music, I put a cd on my cd-player. If I want to take a picture, bring on the camera. sheesh

My only "strange" cell phone habit is that I actually use it as a phone - and that's it. I never text anyone, play any games on it or surf the web. Mine can't take pictures, which I don't want anyway 'cause I'd never use it for that either. It doesn't play a crap sounding version of some 70's song when someone calls, it just has a basic electronic "ring".

i won't be going at it with any guys, but i'm not going to waste the precious 15 seconds either...i guess it is a different sort of thing with guys than girls.

[MrFun]

15 seconds is a long time for you?

I only use mine for actual calls, too. I don't pay extra for Internet access via my cell phone, although I have that capability if I want to.

I don't have a landline, and I'd prefer people don't leave me voicemail. Most of my friends know I don't like it.

I'm similar. No land line and my cell does not have voice mail. If I can answer the phone it is turned on. If I am unable to answer - call back.

you guys turn your phone off during sex??? do you schedule said sex? 7pm on wednesday? or do you just stop in the heat of the moment and be like "hey, hang on a second, i have to turn off my phone" ??? where's the PASSION!?!?!

not that I'm qualified to answer, but I would suspect you turn the phone off before things start to heat up. You know; after a date when you bring a girl inside your place. That's the time to turn the phone off. Not when you are unwrapping the condom package.

I should note that I used to always carry a cell phone, and I used it in lieu of a lan line. but that didn't work out so well because of the crappy reception where I live. I just grew so frustrated I got rid of my cell phone. I'm never paying for another one again (again my work requires I use one, but I don't pay for that).

Even when I was on my cell phone trying to order local lan line phone service, my connection was lost and I couldn't even order anything. I had to use a real phone at work to order lan service at home just so I can talk on the phone.

I've tried both AT&T and Cingular (now they are the same company), both are crap.

**** cell phones. . Why should I pay more money for something that doesn't work. They keep adding all these stupid features like text messaging, cameras, ringtones. But they can't make the phone do what it is supposed to. talk to other human beings.

No habits my personal cell is use for business to. Working agency nursing the agency calls me with the next days job. As far as personnal use i only have it for emergency purposes such as my kids needing to talk to me. Its not that important in my life but rather for the jobs i get and my kids. Most of the time it sits in another room or in my purse. I do carry a pager for the same reason but when its on me it is on vibrate and dont bother anyone and i call back if i need to or want to. As far as during sex the ringing phone is not a bother and neither it nor the pager is answered till after

Would Ted Striker hit it with his cell phone turned off?

The main problem with turning off the phone is I can't tell when I've had a missed call.

In Austria, at least with a certain provider, you get an SMS when you turn back on your cell phone. "You missed 3 calles from 2 numbers..."

Anyway, I've got 2 cell phones, a discount provider one which is extremely cheap and works well, and another one I only have so my g/f and family who all have another provider can call me.

I've both phones on vibro, so I can keep them on almost everywhere.

I absolutely do not use cell phones in public transport (I hate having to listen to the most profane things of others I have absolutely no interest in), while driving (cell phone drivers are not much above drunk drivers in my opinon) and in most public places (during lectures etc.)
I try to limit calls to the absolute necessary when meeting with other people face to face - I hate it when I meet a friend for a coffee, we have maybe half an hour and the other person uses 10 mins. of that little time because his g/f called...
