Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.

We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

Mobile phones are great if they are used appropriately. Unless to friends you shouldn't really call anyone before 8am and by 930pm all calls should stop. Thats for work of course. But if you are calling friends you know each others boundaries and should respect that.

In regards to text, you should only text if you are letting people know the location of a place or a time to meet. I hate it when people try to organise things through 3 or 4 messages when 1 phone call would have been much better. I know some people who even send text messages when breaking bad news or breaking up with their g/f or b/f, that is not right.
thanks
