You want a challenge? Try to survive in the wilerness for a week with nothing but the clothes on your back.
Getting rid of a cell phone though? Thats just ehhhhh. Many of poor people are forced to do that every day of their lives.
The thing about making this conscious decision to delete your facebook and get rid of your cell phone...it implies something. It tells me that more than likely you got to a point where you let fb and a phone consume you. You became everything you saw in other people that you didnt want to be. You caught yourself and now youre trying to fall back.
Thing is all of this could be done without having to give them up.

I wouldn't do it... Its tough. Plus, you're gonna need it for an emergency 1 day. Just get a basic one.

I've done this before, had no phone for almost a year, its easy until you really need it, that alone makes it not worth it. Than after I got a pre paid virgin mobile just to make phone calls in emergencies. It made it much easier.

why live without a cell phone?
why not have a cell and not give your number out to everyone? you never know what kind of emergencies may come up and you just may need a cell.

I read a yahoo headline article about the trend of a lot of business professionals getting rid of their cell phone( Tavis Smiley was one mentioned in the article). It's a whip for real giving people constant access to you all the time. Esp if you have a job tied into your phone.
A lot of people are deciding to ditch their cell phones and android tech ( word to surrogates). All the addicts will soon be given a chance to live a complete android/human interface life soon though so. I guess this is the beginning of the polarization on the issue.

Even then, I would rather have a cellphone than a house phone
Why not go with the prepaid phones? Only make calls when you really need to.
