I was just lookin at my current cell phone and my previous cell phone and apparently I use my phone a lot. I have had my current Motorola RAZR since March of this year and have put 266 hours on it. My old LG only had 119 hours before it broke. How many hours have you tacked up and how long have you all had your phones?

Calimus · Nov 30, 2006, 03:00 PM

I'm at 42 hours, had the phone for almost a year now. I rarely talk more than 5 minutes at a time though, and many days don't make/receive any calls.

My phone doesn't have this "feature" to report the information.

492 hours on my cingular phone. I have had it since August 2004 I think.
58 hours on my tmobile phone that I have had since April.

Rumor · Nov 30, 2006, 05:56 PM

29:47 and I got the phone at the end of September. It's also my primary phone.

I change phones often so the number isn't worth mentioning.

residentEvil · Nov 30, 2006, 07:14 PM

hmmm, interesting. i get a new phone every 6 months to 9 months; and have been an att/cingular/back to att who now owns everything again customer since they introduced ATT digital one rate; their first nation wide/no long distance/no roaming service (was that 1995?)

same number, lots of phones. it would be interesting to see how many hours total since i have been a customer. but then again, maybe i don't want to know.

vmarks · Nov 30, 2006, 08:39 PM

65:02:11 on this particular phone. nokia symbian.

Jawbone54 · Nov 30, 2006, 08:40 PM

I couldn't figure out how to check the hours on my SLVR.

TheoCryst · Nov 30, 2006, 11:06 PM

198:49 on my low-end T-Mobile Samsung phone. It's my only phone, and I've had it for almost two years now.

Don't mind me. I'm an idiot. This is after having the phone about 6 months...

Total time: 54 hours, 30 seconds
Received Calls: 32 hours, 35 minutes, 56 seconds
Dialed Calls: 21 hours, 32 minutes, 42 seconds

I guess that's not a crazy amount of time. I really do hate the phone, but it's an absolute necessity for me. I actually only answer about 50% of my calls unless I know who it is and it's either business or urgent. I can't stand "how are you doing" calls in the middle of the day; I just ignore them. Then at night I was "relaxing" and "left my phone in the kitchen" while I "was playing a game and listening to Michael Savage," so as you can see, I "couldn't hear the phone."

52.5 hours (772 calls) on my sanyo 3100. As for data I have only used 12.8 MB. I have had this phone since about Sept. so I'm off to a good start. On sprint phones you can put in ##786# to get this info.

Dakar² · Dec 1, 2006, 07:49 AM

Don't have a clue how to check on my RAZR

Atheist · Dec 1, 2006, 07:56 AM

17 hrs in 13 months. I HATE talking on the phone.

I start getting a headache after about 30minutes into a conversation.

I currently have 10h44min31sec on the phone. Not a whole lot but I've only got it for about 2months. It's a Nokia N72. I never liked nokia, I've had Ericssons my whole life but I thought, why the heck not let's just try out this Nokia. Damn does it suck. The Symbian OS is slow and extremely complicated and the battery is plain awefull. I'm always scared of running out of battery in the middle of the day. I never had that with any of my Ericcsons (well, except for the really old ones).

No, I rarely have headaches.. And I don't have any headset or something like that, just my v620.

But it is a lot - 90,083 days! Actually, I think there must be some kind of bug in that algorithm calculating the time - because I really don't think that I speak that much. Ok, I've had some girlfriends who I talked to a lot, but I mean... 90 days! thats 3 whole days a month on average - because I found out that I had the phone for 2.5 years.

nickw311 · Dec 1, 2006, 10:44 PM

I never really get headaches after being on the phone for hours either. I did however recently get a bluetooth headset to use in the car and while i am doing things around the house and that is kinda nice.

Railroader · Dec 1, 2006, 10:53 PM

34 hours and 55 second since February.

That kind of annoys me. I HATE talking on the phone and I do not remember wasting that much time.
