My DH and I were in Jamaica for a week and had no access to our phone or internet for the entire time. It was tough in the beginning, but the vacation was much more relaxing. Although, coming home, we had a ton of emails to sift through. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-625077 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 16:14:39 +0000 Sweet T 625077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a phone addict. I couldn't give it up! I use it for HBing in the mornings before DS goes down for his nap. We don't have a house phone so I really do need it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624824 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 15:00:32 +0000 yin 624824@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am addicted and wish I could go without it for more than a few hours. Since we don't have a home phone, I actually do need it for people to get in touch with me. I should just turn off data... that would help me ease into the transition of using it less often. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624697 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:27:18 +0000 LuLu Mom 624697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA this is funny, I was just serving on jury duty and we weren't allowed to have our phones for the entire time we were at the courthouse (any electronics) and we all felt so lost without our phones. I never thought of myself as dependent on it, but someone would ask a question and we would all be like "let me look it up" but realize we didn't have the device to do that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624662 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:19:17 +0000 Mrs Checkers 624662@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a complete addict. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624661 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:19:08 +0000 DillonLion 624661@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could live without all the extra features, but I would really not be comfortable not at least having a phone so daycare could reach me if something happened to LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624650 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 14:17:13 +0000 Sugar.Biscuit 624650@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We shut ours off for a week during our honeymoon. Only sent 3 txt to confirm we got there, when we left &amp; that we made it home. Rest of the time it was off. Bugged me the first few hours but was fine after that. I'd be fine without one. I'd just have to have really good address book &amp; day planner. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624090 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:37:38 +0000 Alivoo01 624090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I probably could. I only use it mainly to text the hubby throughout the day, and to browse FB if I'm bored waiting for my oil change or something. I'd definitely feel naked without, but I easily go without my phone during vacations. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624088 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:36:37 +0000 Dandelion 624088@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>yeah, I could...it's not a smartphone, though. And, I like being able to text with dh while he's at work, but I could deal without it, too.</p> <p>However, I couldn't live without my laptop/kindle/computer. I need at least one of them to get by during the day, lol. It's often my only form of outside communication during the day! lol </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624081 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:34:18 +0000 bunnylove08 624081@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i live without it all the time because I'm always misplacing it. My theory is if someone needs me they can call my work phone during work hours if an emergency or DH because we're always together during non work days. I know I'm terrible </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624043 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:21:45 +0000 autumnlove 624043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've gone without it for a week but I missed it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-624038 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 09:19:49 +0000 LindsayInNY 624038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I could probably go without it if I had to. It would be annoying commuting without it though!</p> <p>DH and I like travelling internationally too so we can unconnect and not use our phones! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-623949 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 08:43:00 +0000 anbanan15 623949@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>At one time I probably could have, but after having an iphone and using it for other things besides talking/texting I don't think I could. One of the most important things I use my phone for is tracking LO's growth. I check his growth chart almost daily and I would be bothered if I needed to reference it and it wasn't there. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-623801 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:26:42 +0000 KissMeCait 623801@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No way. I've even been known to get to work, realize I left it at home, then turn around to go back and get it (80 minute round trip). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-623790 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:11:15 +0000 singingbee 623790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Total phone addict. I don't think I could do it unless my phone was taken away, lost, or hidden. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-623784 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 06:00:39 +0000 illumina 623784@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I use my iPad for browsing/email and Facebook for messaging. I rarely use my phone and don't look at it every day. I could go quite a while without it, I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-623540 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 00:53:56 +0000 Reese 623540@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>can I just say how nice it is to be surrounded by fellow addicts *group hug*</p> <p>I feel so guilty because of my addiction and I make a conscious effort to try and separate myself from my iPhone/Pad/Book...etc but you guys make it okay :) </p> <p>I have been without it on trips but for some reason that is different (probably because of all of the other stimulus) but if I leave it home when I go shopping or out to meet someone I feel naked. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-623516 Fri, 08 Mar 2013 00:44:46 +0000 rybybeach 623516@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I love my phone and she loves me. Maybe I could go half a day but that's pushing it </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622983 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 22:07:22 +0000 MamaMoose 622983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We went on a cruise last year and I had no service for a week. I actually loved it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622901 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:51:10 +0000 Andrea 622901@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I lived without it on safari because there was no reception! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622900 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:51:08 +0000 Happygal 622900@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Half a week. I hate talking on the phone. When it rings, it startles me and I NEVER answer for an unrecognized number. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622891 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:48:22 +0000 Freckles 622891@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We did it for a week when we were in Cuba. It was sooo weird being cut off from the internet world for that long! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622813 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:35:53 +0000 heffalump 622813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'll be going without this weekend! Were going camping, and while phones work and there's plenty of service it's my personal rule to go without. Last trip I actually forgot my charger so I was forced to go without it and I loved it..... But luckily dh uses his phone because my sil went into labor a few days before her planned csection. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622804 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:34:25 +0000 teamjse 622804@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If I have access to the Internet, I don't need my phone. I'm not attached to it but I use it mainly to take pics of LO. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622791 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:31:54 +0000 mrs. 64 622791@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My phone was recently on its last leg. It would work for a day or two, and then be dead as a door nail whenever I really needed it. Of course that included when I was traveling by myself! I use my phone for calls/texts/frivolous internet stuff, but I also feel really unsafe when I don't have a working one!<br /> ETA: I got a new phone after that! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622777 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:29:38 +0000 mrs. wagon 622777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No. Don't ask me again!</p> <p>Haha. I'm too addicted. mostly babyconnect, instagram, gtasks, netflix, spotify, and the news! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622765 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:28:18 +0000 MrsStar 622765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I could do it, I just like the security of it rather then using it all the time, I mostly use it to check the time or take photos. I feel naked without it usually. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622721 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:21:59 +0000 Meridian 622721@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can't live without it, unless maybe it's a day when I am in front of my computer the entire day. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622593 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 21:04:47 +0000 Grace 622593@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I forget my phone all the time, so yes, I can go a day. I am sad though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/could-you-live-without-your-phone-for-a-day-a-week-longer#post-622531 Thu, 07 Mar 2013 20:54:26 +0000 Bao 622531@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Maybe a day, but I wouldn't like it. </p>
