Mine's always on, but on silent. It's very, very rare I actually have the ring tone on.

The only times I have turned my phone off in the last 3 years are when I am on an airplane during the flight. Every other time it s on, acts as my alarm clock in the mornings.

Silent during the day, ring on during the evenings. Off never!

Always on. It's rare that it's on silent even.

Then again, i use my phone for everything basically. I use it to tell the time instead of a watch. And i use it as my alarm clock etc.

Mine is pretty much always off. I hate being distracted by phone calls, so I only use it when I want to call somebody. 8)

I always have mine on, only usually turn it on silent in movie theaters.
I guess the only times I'd have it off is when I forget to recharge it and it runs out of battery power.

Most phones will turn back on if you set an alarm...

I never turn mine off. If I did I'd probably forget to turn it back on for ages.

I put it on silent every now and then though when people start to shit me. People seem to like calling me when I'm sleeping. Cunts. Though once it's on silent I often forget to put it back to normal for ages.

I'm exactly the same Mech! Mine is with me during work, but i feel rude having it turned on, even though they don't care if i have it on me and i use it...

With the phone turned on all the time, have you noticed any negative impact on the phone's battery?

Don't own one. Don't want one. Don't need one.

I hate it when the phone rings at work or home. Like I need that kind of grief everywhere else I go.

Free yourself. Throw your mobile phone away.

My N70 takes over a minute to boot up, so it never gets turned off. Thankfully it has an 'Offline' mode for those times when I'd normally turn it off; like at the cinema, on a plane, etc.

I know the bootup time is one of those things that should be considered irrelevant but...

Y'know, it's easier having the convenience of the mobile, and ignoring any calls you don't want to take, than not having a mobile at all.
