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?
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?

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 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

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

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.

Amazing! Not many people can do that.

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

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...

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.

I turn it off every time I get angry on my friend

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

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

, you will certanly hear it.

I find this rather interesting, come to think of it I never had my mobile turned off as well.

Well, unless it runs out of power, but thats another question.

Do you ever switch off your phone, manually?If yes, why? Let the

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

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

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
