A normal human being can survive
without water for 3 days....
without food for 3 weeks....

how long can you survive without using your mobile...

(Please do not argue about the water and food issues.. as they are irrelevant)

Don't have a phone, although I plan to correct that shortly. Still, I think I could live without it.

1 day i think ....coz for me the sole purpose of buying cell was (is) to remain in contact with my girl .....i cant resist calling her 2-3 times daily (and atleast 3-4 msgs if she dsnt reply). ye baat alag hai ki wo mere ghar ke saamne hi rehti hai (hardly 50 mtrs disance) :D :D :D

I dont care about mobile. I see it only as a emergency device.... The only thing which I cannot survive without is this forum :)

Yea tell me about it.Though I got tag named "Call Centre" since I would be on the phone almost 24/7.Uh well almost 24/7.I would have atleast 2-3 call waiting coming up at a certain point of time.

And the joke is I later on joined a call centre itself & that too a mobile related one.;)

SO in a nutshell I wouldn't live without it for a second.Though these days I usually keep it switched off for almost 12hrs at job.;)

IF forced to, us of course we can survive with out cell phone.
If given a choice,------- :D
You may as well include Cell phone now amongst the 6th essential senses.

well even then your mobile will be useful to carry around with the internet enabled...as compared to PC or laptop

I can live even a year without it. :D Its just a tool which I use for emergency. Not more.

Well, travelling around the world for all the research purposes, I have learnt to switch gears into different modes of life.

Like, If given the choise, then I wouldn't mind using everything possible at my disposal, food, water, cell phone.. etc.. etc..

But if put in a situation, I will survive without anything or at a much higher interval.. like 1 time food a day, no bath for 2-3days :D etc.. etc..

So, I guess living without a cellphone would depend on the situation I am curretly in. Given the chance to use it, yes I would use it as much as I need, but given no choice, then I can survive without it as long as I need.

i hate moblie phones they are the worst thing ever. the whole mobile tech is going out of hand, it was nice when ppl uesd it in emergencies and now it does not work when you really want them too.

i never had a mobile and never will. May be when i go out of india i will have to buy to keep in touch with my parents, but if i can i will.


Rarely i use it to message some of my firends.

I HATE MOBILE PHONES.

^i agree there's no tech involved in mobiles today.adding a few megapixel and increasing display size and res. cannot be considered tech.all we get is features missing frm budget phones.why can't we have s60v1 phone for 5k when the os has been around for almost 7yrs and stardard os and user right to choose os and other specs.

hell even printers get better and incorporate new technologies monthly while the mobile world goes ga-ga over a touch-phone.personally i feel no one defines tech than pc components where newer technology always shines not adding gb's or increasing ghz or ram slots.f1 too is a gr8 example how tech should lead the way.

the mobile ship will sink in the next decade much like the walkman's and floppies

I was really hating my phone some months back. It used to ring when I was in the loo or when I was bathing or when I was sleeping (this case happened more or less everyday). I was soooo irritated by that damn thing that I dint recharge the number for 2 whole months.
Result: My life was at full peace. :):)

No, its either "Is route ke sabhi vayakti is samay vayast hain, or The phone is not in reach or switched off or worse...you dont have balance :p"
