Mobile phones: Are you nomophobic?

How many of you are always checking your phone every 5 minutes to see if anyone has sent you a vital text message or if you have somehow missed a call? Well the fact of the matter is that there are considerable amount of people who do this. If you are one of many that have a fear of being without your mobile then you are considered to be Nomophobic!

Many people wonder what they would do without their mobile phones , how would they organise their nights out? How could they get in touch with anybody at any time of the day? The truth is that most people are reliant on the phones and with advances in technology we are able to do so much more with our phones. This means there are no signs of the mobile trend slowing down.

Providers are constantly bringing out new mobile phone deals and with varying tariffs there is a perfect deal for everyone. Whether you like to talk or text there will be a deal that will accommodate your requirements for example, unlimited texts or phone calls.

Benefits such as unlimited texts and/or calls used to be associated with monthly contracts but nowadays pay as you go mobile phones are offering enticing deals. Some providers offer a certain amount of texts if you top up a set amount each month, which gives the deal a "monthly" feel about it just without the contract.

From Business to pleasure, mobile phones have become an integral part of every day life and a lot of people rely on their phones to organise their day. Businessmen and women are probably the group that rely the most on them because they are travelling a lot from meeting to meeting and is extremely hard to contact them via a fixed line. Then you have the younger generation who seem to be fixated with their phones and will not leave the house without it.

The question is; how many of us are nomophobic? I'm betting there is a high percentage of us who are, whether you admit or not!
