I always used to turn off my mobile but now I just leave it on. Except for the times when my service provider decides to send me an advertising SMS in the middle of the night, it's not really a hassle to keep it on.

They do? blink.gif

While you are in the country or is it when you are overseas and get SMS in the middle of the night due to time differences?

Then did your phone get confiscated or something?

with my first mobile, I did a giniss record, I believe, as I turned the phone off just a hand full of times.
maybe 10 times, during a period of 5 Years....
Crazy isn't it..

but the last time I turned the phone off, was so I can take the sim card from it and put it in the new phone I bought..

now the new one got turned off about 10 times, because sister wanted to try it with her sim...
and because I wanted to send some text messages to my self from her Sim.

I rarely switch off my phone. If it ever is off, it's because the battery has died.

I havent turned my phone off since the day i got it

i never switch my phone off........ it switches its self off, only if u miss treat it tho lol e.g if u push it down to hard it will turn off it has got feelings too. Other than that the phone stays on 24/7 and is on charge every night with out fail :hehe:

I normally dont switch off my celly (K610i at the moment).

But since mobiles get more and more like computers, a reboot often helps with software problems wink.gif

Yeah, sometimes I have the same problem like you. Luckily that doesn't happen during the exam. tongue.gif

Usually i keep it under my pillow in my hand but when i have to charge it i turn it off and keep a pin code request so no body can open it coz i have a fear that some body will check my phone when i am sleeping and thats ...

Ha nice thread!

I never switch off my phone. Only if I need to take the card out. Even only seldomly for loading.
And yes, I also have it next to my bed.

I guess I´m a hopeless case of mobile addiction too laugh.gif

Am I the only one who turns my phone off here? Normally I turn my phone off at school or work, or when Im playing golf etc. I keep it on my desk when I go to bed, which is across the room from my bed. I keep my phone on when someone wants to contact me, or if Im contacting them. A lot of the time I always turn my phone on to discover un-answered calls.

i keep my phone on, all the time. i us it as an alarm clock, to wake me up in the mornings. if it dies i bust out my other battery.
mth785
I wasn't aware that my phone had an off button.
Motomorphis
my last phone was a treo and it could only be left on standby mode

Amazing! Not many people can do that. thumbsup.gif

I know many people who wouldn't wake up even tho their phone vibrates and gives out a loud music tone. Myself included. tongue.gif

@AW

Hmm...I had to "train" to not woke up. I cant go to sleep if I have something blinking....like that green light that blinks on some mobiles...so if it vibrates...I woke up in a second...tongue.gif laugh.gif
coopere
mine is always on, 24/7. i use it for my alarm, but thats no excuse because it can come on, alarm and when i turn off the alarm, will turn off. but honestly i figure what's the point in that. ever since i got my first mobile that has been my contact with the rest of the world, i forget i have a house phone until it rings then i remember that other device.

mmmmmmmmm.......never!
antonis1978
no i dont..........i have importand sms to receive wub.gif laugh.gif
Sedma
I turn it off every time I get angry on my friend laugh.gif laugh.gif When I'm angry I don't want to answer him, so the best way is to not know that he calls me or sends me SMS laugh.gif laugh.gif

I also use my phone as alarm. But I've noticed that it's not clever keeping it on my bed cause I turn alarm off without knowing it. That's why I keep it on my table so I have to get up from the bed to turn alarm off. The best way to hear alarm is to put it in some stewpan laugh.gif, you will certanly hear it.
ahmadkiwan
yes I turn it off every day when I go bed

Tomi suggests that mobile phone is the first always-on mass media. Research shown that 7 out of 10 people sleep with the phone within arm's reach.

I find this rather interesting, come to think of it I never had my mobile turned off as well. ohmy.gif Well, unless it runs out of power, but thats another question.

Question of the day is: Do you ever switch off your phone, manually?

If yes, why? Let the gathering.gif begins shall we?

I turn off my phone only in places that are prohibited its use!

I turn my phone off every night when i go to sleep. Alarm still works and that's the main use for my phone while i'm asleep. oh and..i must agree with what was said previously

QUOTE
It's always arm's length away when I sleep, so I can turn the snooze on without having to get up tongue.gif


lol. like i said, even if the phone's off, the alarm still plays..so i need it near me to snooze! =P

Note: For those who feel like their phones are starting to mess up a bit, try turning your phone off every night, it usually allows the "mini-pc" to rest and regenerate. Try keeping your computer on for a couple of days straight, by the end of it, chances are it's running less efficient than when you last restarted. =P
felanoma
Since i buy two extra batteries and a desktop charger, nope!
It's allways ON!
