11. At home, I use it for work and to stay in contact with my family. I am an addict, though. If a site takes too long to load or my browser freezes, I fire up my phone and switch tasks. I cannot wait 30 seconds. Eeek. I lost it while I was on vacation and I just about died. Everything was in there. Without it, I didn't even know where I parked, let alone how to get back to my rental house. D: I almost feel like I should have a backup phone.
I use a phone to be on this site and to text my family and my ex to arrange my son's schedule and my boss texts me and I check my voicemail in case my son's school ever calls during the day.
I get addicted to it and I stay up way to late on my phone and I check it in the morning. I think it's bad for my health because I used to get bad headaches from it, but now it just causes tiredness and aches and pains in my body when it's on, LoL! I'm weird and cell phones affect me so if I could get away from it I bet I would have more energy, less depression and I'd probably feel young after sleeping regularly again. I would miss Facebook and Answermug and having a connection to everyone in my life, but the pain I would feel would be less than 0. I would probably be happy for the first time in years, but I wouldn't have internet and of course finding a girlfriend that doesn't have a cell phone on her all the time may be impossible so why even bother turning mine off and being healthy? I'm screwed, I guess?

if it has to be taken away for a week, I'd say a 10+, because I don't have a home phone, and this is the only way people can get in touch with me in case of an emergency. I also use it to access the internet when I'm not home, so that would be difficult too :(
Low. I use it, but not that much and it's switched off more than on. It's just a basic voice- and text- communicator with a few internal extras such as a calculator of no real value. No camera or picture-screen, no Smurf-coloured dentures, www "connectivity" (who coins these dreadful words?) or the like.
Oh, and it's a "mobile" not "cell" phone over here in the UK, at least to most people: I call it "portable" because it's portable not mobile. At least the American term has the merit of being an abbreviation for the networks' principle.
Most of my communications are land-line and e-post.
