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 have made life easier, and safer. I have been caught in situations where if I didn't have a mobile, I would have be stuck. Simple things like a flat tyre. I was heavily pregnant and no one stopped to help I tried doinf it myslef, but was able to call a friend to come down. I can't afford RACQ, with my phone being more helpful.
We shouldn't talk on them in a car, as even with hands free, you get distracted.
People shouldn't call or text after 9pm. Most people are either in bed or chilling out ofter a hard days work, and the last thing you feel like is talking on the phone. Most things can wait till the next day. Nothing annoys me more, when a friend sends a text message when they are out clubbing. Not only does it wake me up, but I have to check it in case it is important, only to read a drunken message about what a good time they are having. My god, I sound like I am 50!!! But honestly, a bit of comensence could go a long way.
