I used to turn it off to save batteries... even left it downstairs... but I keep it on now and keep it bed-side in case of emergencies (break-ins, etc.)

Leave it plugged in on the night stand right next to my bed just in case.

My cell phone is always on. Sometimes I forget it on silent after class, but it's always on.

Always on, right by my side. Work has this nasty habit of calling me to come in at the most inopportune times. I hate supervising, I wanna go back to my old job. :(

What a drag... cell phones didn't become really popular until around the time I graduated college (1999). I didn't have to think about turning it silent just before classes and flipping it back afterward. That must suck.

Mine is on 24/7. I dont have to worry much about battery life. I only charge it every 3-4 days.

Gotta love GSM!

Always on.

Nokie 7210, it lasts me ~4 days, so I don't worry about the charge.

Yup, it's always on. I think it's been turned off like 5 times since I got it in August. It's my only phone so I keep it on just in case.

always on. But then again we did shut off the landline. No reason to have it. We share 1000 minutes and we never even come close to useing them all. Why waste the extra $120 a month for a crappy landline?

Cell-only, here, so I typically leave it on all the time, except if I'm going to be underground for extend periods of time.

Yeah... why not? Batteries last at least 72 hours or something around there.

Off.
When I go to bed I stick it on the charger. If someone needs to reach me they'll use the house phone and wake my a$$.
