I Dont Have a Mobile !!

thelurch

I am 47, run my own small business and dont have a mobile. People can ring me in the office or a chosen few have my home number. My time in the car or on lunch are my own. People find this strange...even my wife, but I am happy with it !!

My friend I salute you

thelurch

NO ! I Have loads of mates ! My 2 yr old son panics when he cant find his soother. I put a few of you in that catagory, You need constant soothing ! I dont, probably have more mates than you, but they dont need to know when I am having a coffee or when I am on my way when I told them I will meet them there an hour ago. When I make a date I will be there...Simple !!

Why didn't you say so. I've been trying to call you for weeks - I just thought you were ignorant.

Take your foot out of your mouth, you make no sense........

I can appreciate how nice it must be being 'off the radar', but surely the benefits a phone would grant in an emergency are worth it? It's basically like a form of insurance in this day and age.

It's the fact you run a business and have no phone that amazes me.

Well none of the suppliers of anything have my boss' phone cause if they did she'd be getting cold calls selling her things at all hours !

And I'd rather not have a phone either $:\$ it'd make things more..simple =D

It's not so much the suppliers but the employees that need the go ahead from the boss, if they head out to get supplies they may need to double check with boss. It's just unusual to see a boss thats detached from the business like that. It's probably great having a boss that cant ring you on a whim.

P.C.

Hey, thelurch - you can have my phone.

I will swop it for a digital camera. You can take over my contract, and I have a spare phone.

Maybee I will get some peace and quiet

I went 6 months without a mobile phone last year or the year before (can't remember). It really didn't bother me.

In the end one friend bought a SIM card and the other gave me an old phone and they made me use it.
They were pissed off that they couldn't text me.

magick

i get the same reactions when ppl ask for my mobile and i say i dont use one. I dont like them and never have tbh

Sharpshooter

I got mine when I got rid of the land line, the feckin bill for that was ridiculous, between line rental and VAT and the charge for the phone I was paying out more for that lot than I was for calls.

If I forget to take my mobile with me I don't miss it tbh but I do like to have it in case something happened to my dad and I couldn't be contacted.

Fair play OP but I love my iPhone

I'd say not having a mobile lessens complications involved in having an affair no-end.

My mobile is always on silent, I dont text back half the people who text me or if I do its the next day.

Actually, now that I think of it the main purpose of my phone is to ring the GF's phone because she's lost it.

OP,

If you run a business, no matter how big or small, being non-contactable when you want/need is probably a luxury many in your position don't have.

If you have a mobile, you are expected to be available nearly 24/7.

wow, i wouldnt live withouy my mobile.

fair play! op said your expected to be availabel 24.7. i think it depends what type of business you run. if the opeing hours are X to Y then fair enough - those are the hours you should be available, so why need a mobile.

however, if you were on the road/not home/in the office, would you not be afraid if something happened - an emergency type situation ?!?
