- Dreds! - If you are on your cell phone so much that you forget to wash your hair and end up with dread locks, there is a VERY good chance you are spending too much time with your phone.
- Friends - If your only friends are those that follow you on Twitter or have poked you on Facebook, you may be addicted to social networks on your cell phone!
- Sleep - If you sleep with your cell phone and wake up once or more during the night to check status updates or check-in on FourSquare when you hit the bedroom, you may be addicted to your cell.
- Sister - If you forgot you have a sister because she is not “in network,” you may have a problem with your cell phone controlling your life.
- Mobile Dreams- If your dreams seem like iPhone or Android apps – Angry Birds for instance – you may be spending too much time on your mobile phone.
- Background & Ringtones- If your homescreen background changes more than twice per month or you are constantly trying out new ringtones – and have a special one for different people – you may be a bit addicted to your smart phone!
- No Service- If your heart skips a beat or you start crying (or screaming) when you lose service to your cell phone, you might have a slight problem!
- Checking Again- If you are constantly checking your phone or have buzzers and beeps set for emails, messages, calls and more, you may be addicted to setting up the features of your cell phone – which is a bit different but still dangerous.
- Dinner Date – If you are checking your phone on a date or at dinner with your significant other, there is a very good chance you may have a problem with being addicted to your cell phone.
