Always turn my phone off, getting a call while tripping can be really confusing and unnerving

Depends a great deal, I like to go in completely dark rooms while tripping. Any light will prevent my mind from creating its own reality
On the other hand if Im out at night then yeah

I have a hard time understanding people over the phone when I'm sober. When I'm tripping it's just ludicrous and impossible trying to meaningfully communicate with this fiddly little plastic POS.

because so many of the cues the body and voice would communicate are lacking
I never text anymore for three reasons, 1. its hard to understand the emotion and meaning of the other, 2. gov have such control over it that its rather unsecure for drug shit, 3. its impossible to get deeper, if the personalities are compatable and sophisticated the conversations can get really deep from a very basic start; not so with texts
Also phones limit communication, the other person could hang up an any time, they also dont usually understand whats going on in the background

I've never turned mine off. But I don't use it. I usually throw it when I see it.

I learned to always turn mine off after i answered a call from my frantic mom crying, thinking i had died and demanding to see me on my very first mushroom trip. That was way too much to fucking handle.

sorry I haven't been keeping up, what was the reason the original poster said for wanting to turn off his cell phone? not wanting to be bothered?

When I trip, everybody I care to be around is right there.
Use a fucking pencil and paper.
Have a single UNMEDIATED experience for once...
Time is useless when tripping.
Get a fucking flashlight.

Oh God Last time I took acid I was with a girl who ABSOLUTELY REFUSED to turn her cell phone off or to stop using it to create awkward/drama-filled situations between her own acid-filled head and random people she knew. She kept looking at me with this shocked look like, "OMG! I just said something drugged-up and retarded to [important contact here]!" So I was like TURN THAT FUCKING THING OFF OR I WILL FORCIBLY TAKE IT AND BREAK IT. So she turned it off, and then waited until I looked away to turn it back on. 

Some people, I swear to God.

Cell phones are no good when tripping. I left it on once and got a call from a friend that asked me to watch his kid for a few hours. I was tripping and thinking, "sure, it would be nice to be around kids right now..." Bad fucking mistake. Now I turn it off.

Turning off cell phones and unplugging land lines is mandatory.
"Oh! But what if your father had a car crash and is on life support?"
Read my lips: The absolutely last thing you should be confronted with while tripping is that your father had a car crash and is on life support.
You can't come, you just can't come. All you can do is hurt your mind while you STILL cant go.
When you trip you are out of reach, end of story.

I witnessed someone laying a heavy one on a tripping friend via the telephone: she decided it was a great time to break up with him (now he was vulnerable, basically).
POOR GUY! POOR US!
He kept going round and round in circles of why why why and we kept comforting him to no avail and she didnt pick up when he called back and ACK! Whjat had been such a groovy vibe for all got turned to complete shite. And because he got the news in a trip, it was exceptionally hard for our friend to pick up the pieces and move on.
I forbid it now. Trip in my house = phone gets turned off. If fucking world war 3 has started we'd either hear the siren or see the flash, but not TV no radio no phone!

This happened to a friend of mine, but I wasn't there when it happened. Thank God.
I agree though, next time I trip with friends in my house I'm officially going to confiscate and hide all phones before we start. It's the least they could do in return for the privilege of tripping in MY HOUSE.

YES! A cell phone has no meaning to me when I'm tripping. I look at it and I think, "What the hell is this thing? Get it away from me!"
