It works well from home, and I hardly ever text from anywhere else.

In fact, I hate my smart phone.

May I suggest, put it in a bowl of water and give it a good soak. Then dry it off and put it away in a drawer as it will no longer be working.

Then go back to enjoying all the important people you know by looking them in the eyes, speaking to them using the normal voice inflections and facial expressions that add so much to your conversations. Life again will be rich with friends and family who speak directly to you.

Life is to short already...

You know, you get locked into smart phone use as means to communicate with your kid(s).

It is ultimately my own fault for letting it get this far. It happens incrementally, like the proverbial frog in a slowly heating kettle of water.

So smart phones are the lowest common denominator of personal communication.
 

Sawfish, now is another chance for you to model the way for your kids. Show them how much better your discussions can be with them, without using your iPhone. I have three adult kids and 6 Grandkids... I have no iPhone and see our kids/ grandkids every time we can, even the adult grandkids living around the country...

I've got just one 25 year old daughter, no grandkids.

The genie's out of the bottle.
