Could you go a day or two or even a week without your cell phone? I mean not talking to anyone on it even if work calls you? And just go to work or out with friends and act all casual about it like nothing ever happened? I know I could, how long would you last? And that would also mean all social media as well (facebook, tumblr etc)

I could do it, no problem. I work 5 days a week so it doesn't matter to me. and my parents live close to my house just in case something happens

I never talk on the phone anyway. this past month, I've used exactly 19 minutes. so yes, I could do it.

Most I use my phone for is text and web, it would be easy for me to go a week or more...my boss might not like it though :chuckles:

Without a doubt. I could probably go a couple weeks. I remember reading that Vince Vaughn does not have a cell phone and if a studio wants him bad enough they will wait til he gets home to answer his answering machine.

No problem, I don't use it enough now. I've got more money tied up in unused minutes than I can talk for. Most of my conversations are less than a minute even on my landline.

I know I could do it. I would find it annoying after about a week though. The only time work contacts me are when coworkers want shift coverage. I like all the benefits of have a smartphone but don't NEED them. Drunk post, sorry for grammar.
