I believe that belt holders for your cel phone are the best way to repel women.
A colleague believes himself to be unbelievably cool because of his belt attachment and doubly so because of the bluetooth bullshit hanging off his ear.
Thoughts?
Pocket, slowly killing my sperm I suppose.
I wear it as a necklace, in the style of Flavor Flav's clock. You know what time it is.
Typically I carry these roaming callboxes in a jiffy bag deposited somewhere in a bike bag/rucksack.
Jacket pocket.
Pocket in the pants.
Pocket in the pants during summer.
Interior pocket of my coat during fall/winter/spring.
scrub top front pocket while at work. pants pocket in street clothes.
You unfashionable fools. I simply wear a watch that functions as both a watch and a phone!

:console:
Winter/fall: jacket outside pocket.
Summer/spring: cargo shorts pocket or front jeans pocket.
I have one of those folio/wallet type cases. All executive like, and whatnot.
Who the fuck cares?
PRC seems curious about it.
Interior suit pocket.

You have a belt holder for your cel don't you?

Honest question... is there a cel phone policy in court? I assume it's silent mode on the table in front of you, but what if you get an emergency text from the wife about the kids and blood and broken bones that catches your eye as you're in the middle of it? Immediate request for recess? Just pick it up and text back that you're on the way as you run out!

Once saw a Circuit Court judge clear out the court and declare everybody still on the docket as Failure To Appears when a pager went off.

When I served on jury duty, we were told to not use cell phones anywhere in the court. I ignored it like a number of other people, and no one seemed to really care.
In my hand.
Usually front pocket. Alternatively in the interior pocket of a jacket, especially when wearing suits.
I just leave mine on my desk.
I have two phones. I wear my iPhone on a holster (Otterbox Defender) on my belt. I carry my Android in my pocket.
I carry my iPhone and Android in the same pocket! :o
Shirt or jacket pocket or cargo pants pocket if wearing cargo pants. Rarely in regular pants pocket.
Two phones eh boys? I like your style.

Corporate phone, brah. Though I do still also have a ghetto phone I sometimes loan to visitors (who then just pick up a pay as you go SIM).
My pocket. Many of my my pants even have a little compartment sewn into the pocket just for that purpose.
Perhaps it is time to bring big hats back into fashion; a phone could easily be carried inside a top or 10-gallon hat, amenable for hands free use as well :hmm:

Phones have to be on silent mode.
If I get an emergency text from my wife? Request immediate adjournment (which would be granted) then race home.
Jurors are somewhat different - I don't think they're allowed to have their phone with them.

Why don't you call first? Not to get all up in your fambly bidness, but it is a phone. You'd find out what's happening faster than if you raced home.
Interior jacket pocket. Not using outside pockets since pickpockets are a concern over here, though they target mostly women for their purses but they would be open for an opportunity strike I guess.

Because text often carries information? :unsure:

Forgive him...he doesn't get texts on his landline. :P
Shush, respect the elders, naughty boy.
I have a holster for when I'm at work, but most of the time, I just keep it in my back pocket (iPhone 6 Plus is too big for my front pocket)

You know, for a generation of allegedly "work smarter, not harder" types, none of you are up on the whole time-management thingy. 30 second conversation? NO LETS TEXT FOR 5 MINUTES INSTEAD
Useless fucking monkeys.
I find a text more considerate and less intrusive than a call; it shows me that the other person is considerate of my time and lets me answer when I'm ready, so I can carry on real life coversations/work.

Exactly. Calling someone sends a message that my stuff is more important than what you're busy with, whatever the fuck that is. Sometimes that is the case, sometimes you really need get someone right this minute, but that shouldn't be a regular occurrence.

Getting constantly interrupted isn't good for time management either. And texts sure are quicker to read than the voicemail that you have to listen to three times in its entirety, in order to jot down all the necessary information conveyed.

DG, do you keep the one-time pads with the phone or nearer the SW radio? :P

I prefer to drive across town and shout at people.
In my pocket when I don't forget it.
Personal flip phone in pocket along with shitty smartphone. iShit.
@text vs. call discussion - depending on the relationship, you're supposed to text "hey, can I call you?" and then call if the person says that's OK. this covers the inconsiderate issue and the conveying information issue
Jeans pocket. I'm okay with killing my sperm.

That operation is pretty cheap. I'm just saying...:whistle:
front pocket
Heh. I usually just leave it at home. Life's better that way.
Bra, hand, or pocket. In that order, usually.
Best to leave it in the jail.
