phone service.

I like my technology but I grew up without it so, if need be, I'm sure I can live without it again.

I would probably feel lost without my phone. I cannot imagine not being able to contact my children or grandchildren daily.

I just spent 17 days on a trip through Canada to Alaska for some fishing and my phone was off the grid 95% of the time, with no lasting effect. I did have some time at my son's house in Anchorage without Internet, but I could go down to Barnes and Noble to use their Wii-Fi to run Google Hangout with my Google Voice number to call home for free.

We have a river house and getting Wii-Fi there is a challenge.  When I'm there and needing the Internet, I can sit in the parking lot at Subway, and get the job accomplished!  Oldbuddy, how about some fish pictures?!!!

It's hard to get pictures while you are fishing, but here is one days catch after we got back from a couple of hours of snagging (legally) Sockeye Salmon off the bank.

My phone is usually for my family to keep in touch with me. I can take it or leave it.

I definitely use my phone a lot when I am in the city or at work. When I travel I use it only as a camera. Most recently my daughter and I spent 10 days in Germany & Poland and we were fine being off the grid.

  When is the fish fry?  We love fish anyway you want to cook for us!!!

I have hardly spent any time on the phone (land line or cell) until now.  Now I've been using it more and more lately.  Paying bills.  Making appointments (car, medical, etc.).

We still have a home phone and verizon for when we go town.  The only time Verizon has not worked is after midnight on my way home from work, it would go out for about 20 minutes then once of twice a year.

Actually we have had several already, but we prefer grilling on a Traeger wood pellet grill to frying.

I don't use my phone very often...a phone call now and then, and texting the girls.  I do like access to the Internet for information.

[Raku]

I don't think I would be able to handle things well without technology.

Although, based off of the title... Phones are a different matter because I don't rely on them that much. So they would be a give or take, even with/without the great features (camera/light) they offer. I'm able to function independently of a phone. It's just the other stuff (tech-wise) that I'd struggle without).

[jkhanson]

I like my phone for quick and easy contact with my family.  I get snapchats daily of my grandkids.  I do feel a void if I forget it at home.

The phone is rapidly replacing the tv and laptops, no one wants to be stuck in one place..

I have Verizon and I rarely have phone issues. I am lucky that when I do, the issue gets resolved quickly.

Verizon.. I have a landline with verizon and also verizon DSL and I'm always  disruptions but contacting them they jump to the problem without hesitation. I'm thinking I have disruptions because I don't have Verizon FIOS which is a higher gigabyte but in my area it isn't supported yet.
