Mobile Phones More Important To Many People Than Their Partners ~ Survey

Phone has become part of us, two-thirds of us would feel lost, unhappy, stressed or anxious without our mobile phone, a survey found.

Many fear being parted from their handset for a day — and would even put it ahead of their partner.

Fifty-eight per cent could not go more than 24 hours without checking their phone. But only 28 per cent could not last more than a day without speaking to their other half.

When they wake in the morning, 53 per cent said they check their mobile before talking to their partner.

Forty-two per cent would rather forget their anniversary than lose their smartphone. Two thousand people in a relationship were quizzed for Nationwide Building Society.

Nationwide’s Dan King said: “It shows how ingrained phones have become in our culture.”
