I admit that I keep my cell in the charger in a spare bathroom and check it every three or four days for messages, but then I hate the telephone. When travelling, why not just use a conventional cell phone to call ahead for your reservations? Or, for that matter, why not make the reservations before leaving home? An iPhone simply seems silly to me, but then so does an M8. I am firmly stuck in the past and feel that the worst mistake of civilization was not to smother Alexander Graham Bell when he invented the telephone, a damned silly device at its best.
