For the longest time, I didn't have a phone either.

I have a phone, but I only ever really use it when I'm lying in bed or when I'm out, which isn't much haha. One of my friends actually doesn't have a phone either so I wouldn't say it's a totally unknown occurrence, they just aren't for everyone I suppose

I lived the entire first half of my life without a cell phone. It may feel odd now, but back then, you could get away with being unreachable for extended periods of time.

I got my first phone relatively late in life for my generation. I think being phoneless did bother me a little as a kid though, just because I felt like I was missing out on something. It wasn't that big of a deal to me though. Nowadays, I barely use my phone at all though aside from occasionally sending out texts. Although granted, that's partially because my phone is so old that it's borderline a paperweight at this point, and I'm too lazy to buy another one right now haha. I feel really uncomfortable walking around outside without one though in case there's an emergency and I need to contact someone.

i got my first phone in 6th grade when i was 11 september 2017 and other kids in my school were on their 4th or 5th phone i thought it was insane. kinda wish i didnt have access to the internet that early. it is kinda sad to think about how much we rely on our phones, you really do need it to live in most places now.
though i dont really use mine much since i have a computer, i really only need my phone for healthcare calls or music/discord when im not home. or when im too lazy to get out of bed to go on the computer lol. i hate using phones you can do way more on pc i feel so limited when im reduced to being a mobile gamer or something

i feel like, the experience of not having a phone Before, like when mobile phones were still like a new thing (+ not having one as a kid as well) is just totally different from what it's like to not have a mobile phone now after having one for some time. more and more the society we live in is becoming dependent on the assumption that everyone has a phone on them.
the other day, i saw a post over on tumblr of someone talking about how bad it is that payphones are mostly gone now . like mobile phones die, break, lose service, get lost, etc, and payphones are super useful for when that happens. or someone just straight up might not have one aswell.
awhile ago, i was really hit with how phone-dependent the infrastructure has gotten when i was going to a record store with my friend and their dad, and it took us forever to find a parking lot or meter that let you pay with like, physical money. all of them had a qr code to scan or an app to download or were card-only, and that wasnt an option for us at the time. we were in a more downtown bougie part of the city which probably also a factor.
my little conspiracy theory is that the fancier gentrified places go cashless and rely on these apps and such to intentionally weed out the ""poors"" or something

I still like the idea of being unreachable like back then when I was a kid/young teen... but it feels weird at this point. I forgot my phone a few weeks ago and when I came back home after work, my parents and my partner were going crazy so I feel like I HAVE to have a phone with me.
Also got my first 'modern' smartphone at 20 or something, meanwhile all my friends had their first smartphones for a few years already. I was kinda late to the party, hahah.
Not having a phone is a good thing as long as your loved ones can reach out to you and you to them but I feel like I just can't go without one anymore :I

I don't have a phone currently and I probably wouldn't use it too much if I did anyways. If I need to call someone I just borrow a friends phone.

Frankly, I wish it were more normal to not have one. After the novelty wore off (about 10 years ago), smartphones have mostly made it easier for others to pester me. Not to mention the ads. The only saving grace for mobile browsing is that Firefox lets you install uBlock origin.
