One of the best things to come about by my decision to study abroad is that it has given me a perfectly acceptable reason to avoid phones. I only carry 2 with me now - an American cell phone that doesn't work here and has thus been turned off since January and a global phone that I only use twice a week for obligatory phone calls to my parents in Virginia.
Friends have told me that I should consider investing in a local prepaid cell phone so that they can reach me. I have no desire to do this.
I have quite gotten used to not carrying a cell phone with me at all times. I've come to love not living with the worries of having to remember where I put my phone or whether or not I missed a call or a text message.
In fact, I've enjoyed not being connected to my cell phone so much that I fear I will be unable to go back to using a cell phone when I return. I foresee many days of "accidentally forgetting" my cell phone or keeping it with me and turned off in the days ahead.
It may be a little bit strange, but just this idea is enough to make me laugh.

it is quite a bummer to come back home where a cell phone is almost a necessity. I stopped wearing a watch when I got back from Burma.
