Parent availability

It is always possible to reach Jose if he's at work and if he's home, but when he's driving somewhere, or grocery shopping, or anywhere else, should he have his cell phone on at all times just in case something happens, like to his infant Pablo, for example, or any other emergency and he has to be contacted?

Do people really turn their phones off when grocery shopping?

[Nessa 23]

some people only turn it on when they want to make a phone call and leave it off the rest of the time.

What did people do before cell phones?

[Nessa 23]

they were out of reach. but times are different now. specially if you live in a place where you don't know people and if you need help, you need your spouse.

If you have a kid, you need a cell phone... and you need to keep it on. It's plain common sense. I have neither

thank you.

i'll start another poll asking if people leave their cell phone on and if they have kids. it'll probably answer my questiojn better.

tell charles to leave his phone on

[The_Dude 1,142]

I leave my phone on all the time, but I don't necissarily answer it all the time

[JVKn'CVO 11]

That is a big fat Yes IMO

I always turn on my cellphone, and carry it anywhere I go.

I found this poll difficult to answer because my feeling is yes, but in reality this is not always possible. I can't answer my phone while I'm teaching, so I set it on silent and check it during my breaks to see if the daycare has tried to contact me. Thankfully, this has never happened.

My husband is often unreachable, sometimes for days at a time, becuase he lives in a third-world country and they have third-world phone connections, and he has to travel to out-of-the-way villages for his work where there isn't even internet connection. If there was an emergency, he might not know about it for days.

maybe it's his country's connection, in my third-world country the phone connections are perfect.
