Could you be without your phone access for a week?

[LadyEmeraude]

If I had to, I could. I would not like it. I rely on my phone for so many
things. For myself, I only keep my cell phone and it is always near. I
do not keep a land line at home of any sort. My cell phone connects
me with many important things during any given day.

I take AccessARide at least 2 rides a week. You need a cell for this service. Otherwise, yes, I can go without my phone for a week. I could give up FaceTime with my son/grandson for a week. I have a landline too.

My son calls/texts me daily to see if I'm still alive

Presumably you're talking about cell phone...sure, I rarely use the '"phone" function, dislike talking on both cellular and landline phones. As for the internet access and general computer aspects of cell phone capability, I prefer using my desktops & laptops.

 

[Teacher Terry]

I don’t have a landline so I need my cell phone.

A few months ago I had to mail my Pixel 7 in for repairs so I was without my cell phone for close to a week. No problems when I was at home. I could still text and make calls via my cell phone number on my laptop. I did miss it when I was away from home but mainly because I could not listen to music or podcasts when taking my daily walks. Nothing earthshattering though.

Same here... my phone stays in my purse turned off. Only comes out if I would need it for an emergency. I can do everything on my laptop and/or tablet. I seriously dislike talking on the phone, and texting is just about as bad. "Wanna talk to me, here's my email" is what I tell people.

 

[Sliverfox]

Yes,, I think we could do that.

 

[Naturally]

... I did without a cell phone for well over 60yrs. A week wouldn't be a problem.
Think I've gotten only 3 calls on my landline in over the last month but it's a nice to have.
Not sure I could do without email for a week though

 

[Flarbalard]

Easily. All mine is is a phone, when I get reception.

 

[Timewise 60+]

I don't have a cell phone and I never will! And believe it or not, I am still alive! Think about it...

 

[Bretrick]

Sure could. Not owning a smart phone, I manage life without one.
My phone is enabled to make and receive calls and text messages.

 

[Gark]

No. No way in tarnation. Not possible.
How could I look up the singer in "Cry Like a Baby"
or who turned in Bill Clinton for his indiscretions
or what movies Clint Eastwood did?!?! Sheesh..

 

[Pinky]

Our landline phone, cable and internet were out for 2 days last week. Fortunately, I was able to play a couple of games without a connection.

We almost kissed the technician who came and fixed it

 

[rgp]

YES !! ........... I do not have and do not want a smart phone.

When I retired, [in 2000] two friends bought me a small foldable [flip] cell phone, and two years service, because I planned on traveling by M/C.

Do not travel anymore , so ...... no need for it really. But I do keep it charged, just in case.

 

[oscash]

. I left my cell phone at home the other day and I did miss it, couldn't wait to get home to see who had called, ....... nobody! I do like to keep my landline in case I lost my cell phone .

 

[-Oy-]

I get twitchy if I leave my iPhone in the other room

 

[ProTruckDriver]

We have a landline and only get a few call a month on it. As for the cell phone, I have a flip phone. I keep it on while driving, just encase of an emergency on the road. I don't talk on it while driving, even hands free. Also I use it in large stores to call my wife while shopping to find out where she is in the store. Truthfully I could do without a cell phone, it would only take longer to find my wife in the store.

 

[Blessed]

No cell phone here anymore. Had one when the kid was a teenager, when Dad was sick for the doctors. Son married, husband passed, now I just have a landline. I am at home most of the time. On the odd occasion, I have borrowed a phone for an emergency. Call a tow truck, have a flat fixed..... I find it kind of funny, we all grew up without all this technology, some think they could not live without it but we all know we grew up just fine. I think life was more fun back then.

longer than that

Can't see anything on it (AMD)

I do have a great receptionist
Can't do without her

Yes, life was a lot more fun then.

 

[birdy]

I would miss it but I do have internet and a landline.

 

[RadishRose]

Sure!

 

[PeppermintPatty]

I ‘could’ be without my phone for a week and was a year ago last May

 

[LoveTulips]

Yes, I could do without it forever. I only keep in on me in case I have an emergency and have to get help. That is the only reason I would miss it.

 

[Paladin1950]

Of course. I can go a whole month without using my flip phone or my landline. I don't have a smart phone.
