For all the features on my phone I usually only use 5 of them. For its purpose, text, Whatsapp, camera and alarm.  Two of them I rarely use, so a week to a month.

Probably 1 day for now.

We use communication apps for work daily. I also live out of country and check up on my parents.

Without those factors I could easily live w/o a phone. I used to turn off my service for over 1 month at a time. It annoyed everyone, but they all knew where I lived.

I lost my phone recently while on vacation and am still trying to recover from it. It was a phone provided by my employer because my job is such that I need to be available off hours and I use it a lot for work stuff (meetings, emails, Teams communication), but it is also my personal phone because I refuse to carry around two phones. I had to get a burner phone to use while my employer ordered a replacement, and it has been a pain in the ass. I just got my new phone yesterday and am working on getting it set up. I hope I don't lose my phone again any time soon.

ConspiracyTheorist · Answer

I was real late getting a phone and people would always seem so shocked when I would say I don't have a phone haha and now that I do it's mainly for work but I find myself on this damn thing just as much as anybody else but I kind of despise these phones and I believe families and couples and probably any kind of relationships would be better off without phones.

About 3 years ago I spent almost 3 weeks on a tropical beach. I needed some time alone to recharge. I left instructions for my executive assistant and my oldest sister to call my hotel if an emergency arose. I turned my phone off and placed it in the room safe with my iPad. Those were 3 of the most blissful weeks I have had in years.

HaveNoName · Answer

I have lost my phone many times. I have lived without it for upto 2 months. It is only the first 2 days that it itches you. Then you start reaizing what a bliss life becomes without this bloody curse. ONLY time you feel a bit handicapped is for driving directions IF you are not prepared.

MCheetah · Answer

I didn't get my first smartphone until 2016. I barely use my smartphone today; mainly only for checking emails or as a backup when my computer or internet isn't working.

And why the late ass recommendation, GAG?

Ga-girl · Answer

Good question! I use my phone for the alarm to wake up at like 530am so I would say it's pretty important. My schedule changes often and I like to keep up with my bank account. So that's why I say a day

Blackcosmo · Answer

I use a laptop so I could go without a phone for who knows how long. Forever.  I can't stay away from my laptop for more than a day since I'm doing school literally all the time.

Snsl153 · Answer

For the rest of my life. I really don't need it, except for potential emergencies, and I've only ever used it to make or receive phone calls and text messages (it doesn't have internet access).

Aerissa_Jade · Answer

I often leave mine home or forget about it, even when I take it. Such poor reception in the Rocky's, unless you are in a big city... my cell phone is just a small WIFI tablet most the time.

JDavid25 · Answer

Probably a day.. Only cause I actually rely on the thing to wake me up and tell me when the next bus is coming.. If I wasn't going to work or the gym, I could probably last a week without it..

HighValue · Answer

I only have a flip phone because I don't care about doing anything more than a regular call with it. I turn it off for days at a time anyways sometimes so I am not bothered by anyone.

es20490446e · Answer

I was without a phone for 7 years. I mostly use my phone for maps and mail. For anything else I prefer using a computer. I think computers are better optimize to create, rather than to consume.

I wish I could say I could live without my phone, but my work schedule is on an app & you have to be in the app to get the schedule.

Justinecase · Answer

Probably longer than i think. I'd say as long as I have to go. Don't have friends anyway.  :-/

AndrésC64 · Answer

Well, obviously I don't need my phone to live, so I could last forever. However, I certainly would miss having it around for a while. My internet was out the last couple of days and I was going crazy.

I use my phone for almost all my communication... phone, web, text, apps, etc. That said, given a bit of time to adjust... I'd be fine without it

Elter · Answer

I usually seemingly forget that I own a phone so I don't think it would be that big of a loss, ig the question also is, is it just a phone or technology and internet access in general?
