I don't.  I restart it every now and then but rarely do I ever turn it off and let it stay off.

I feel the same way; there's nothing to see on my phone either.

I can only think of one instance where I have but for me, what would be the point? I don't keep anything of value on my phone anyway so the hackers wouldn't have anything to steal.

Nah, I never do it. The only times my phone might shut off is when the battery is on 0%. Man, do you really think some hackers give a damn about you and your life? Are you a millionaire or a state dignitary? I don't think so, that's why you shouldn't be worried about it. I don't understand why someone would turn their phone off. Don't you forget to turn it back on? I think you should be more afraid of number tracking apps like numbertrackerpro.com. And trust me, there is nothing that helps you against them.

Funny I just did!  Couldn't get my phone calls to appear, even called the phone myself, then decided to on/off and presto! All was back!

My cell phone is my only phone so I never cut mine off.  Sometimes I have to restart it, but I need to keep it on so someone can reach me if they need to.

To be honest, I did it some years ago, because I found out that my ex-boyfriend had started to follow me, and my friends said that they saw him how he was going after me with maps of my location. Anyway, it was a freaky moment in my life, but I'm glad that my friends advised me to change my phone number and mobile phone. After this situation, I started to send them just SMS from https://quackr.io/temporary-numbers/germany because, at that moment, it was the best possibility to be safe. I hope none of you weren't in such a situation.

Nope, i don't because i know i wont get spam calls or text messages. I only provide my personal phone number to the people i trust, to the ones i dont, i give a virtual number from smspinverify.com. I really recommend it to you.

I never cut my cell phone off because it is the only phone I have.  I use it for my alarm clock so if I cut it off I would not wake up on time.

Turning off your cell phone when you go to bed is a good practice for conserving battery life and ensuring uninterrupted sleep. However, it's worth noting that simply turning off your phone may not necessarily protect it from hacking attempts or security threats.

While turning off your phone can temporarily disrupt potential hacking activities, it's not a foolproof method for stopping hackers. Rebooting your phone, on the other hand, can sometimes help resolve software glitches or clear temporary data that could potentially be exploited by hackers

If I turned it off I would not be able to see what time it is if I wake up.  ???
