Reply to comment by Kalchaya in Phone faraday bags. Anyone use one? What do you use and how/when do you use it? by Rambler

I have one... and not real thrilled that I do. Smartyfone that is.

I mainly have it just for text / secure messaging and keeping track of of things (read monitoring, security, shipments, etc.).

It mainly lives on wifi only.

More and more I am dividing into two devices though. One that does the internet connecting and 4G... and one that is free of the overt spyware and only wifi... Might opt for something like a rooted Asus Transformer model tablet for this.

Only time I am face glued is in limited sips in the day... infrequent... Winding down pre sleep, yeah, transition from workstation to putzing around via phone.

I really try to use the portable devices for productive things. I swear.

For every rule there is always an exception. Good job! Whenever I go out (seldom lately) I see idiots with pocketphones constantly yapping or texting. Or them that answer a call, put it back in their pocket, a minute later its back in hand, then back in the pocket, then back in hand, over and over. I think it's like smoking pot...some of us can limit use to before bedtime, while addictive personalities have to stay high 24/7.
