so i thought i'd mention this,
wonder what y'all think?
seems like a good idea to me, to not have phone or any distraction while one explores higher realms of consciousness.

100% agreed. In fact I haven't even had my cell phone set up for over a year now, the only downfall is girls like to text but fuck it man.

its only logical to turn off your phone during a trip. I keep mine on silent and ill check it once in awhile only to check the texts because if its an emergency, ill get a text after the missed call.

I toss all electronics when I trip...they become pretty useless, anyway.I like heavy doses of mushrooms, ...where music doesn't even make sense to me...at least till the back end...then maybe I'll pick up my acoustic and screw around.
I arrange my trips so that I have a clear schedule for the rest of that day....this doesn't come often, though....I've personally seen way too many people flip their moods from good to bad because of a fucking phone call.

I always turn it off as well as hiding it. Just to make sure that when I am in the middle of the trip worrying that I might have used the phone for whatever reason..I have one less thing to be anxious/worried about.

Reminds me - my second or third LSD trip, I got a phone call for a job interview right as I was starting to come down... I don't know how the fuck she didn't know I was on something, I guess I just kept my cool better than I thought.
Definitely turn off your phone(s) when tripping

I always turn the phone off and advise others to turn off their phones whilst on a trip.

NO PHONE while tripping.
I was in my bedroom tripping on a Saturday night when I was 18, in 1981. I had a phone in my room, but it was the same phone as the rest of the house. When it rang my mom or dad would usually answer it. I would hog the phone at night talking to my girlfriend (Mary), the girl I was with all through high school. I also had a girlfriend I knew from summer camp (Elaine), we fell in love 3 years earlier but lived too far apart to stay together but we still kept in touch.
So on this Saturday night, I was expecting a call from my old girlfriend, the one from camp. I was tripping with my friends and it didn't occur to me that it might be a bad idea. The phone rings and I answer it right away, she says hi and I start to talk. I say - Elaine, I still love you and I always will. She starts to flip out. Elaine? This is Mary (my girlfriend). Holy shit, I totally fucked up. I'm sitting there tripping with my girlfriend flipping out because I just professed my love for my old girlfriend. How fucked up is that? I don't remember what I did after that, but I remember my heart almost stopping. And there's a good chance one of my parents was listening on another extension, but they never mentioned it. I probably spent the rest of the night saying idiotic shit to try and fix things, because we didn't break up after that.
And after all that call was over, Elaine called and I had to talk to her! What a fucking night...
Fast forward to now - I've been married to Elaine for 27 years.

Yes turning off the phone function off the cellphone while tripping is a good call. Sometimes it's a good call even when not tripping.
But I think its also a good idea if you trip to be responsible and have a phone just in case. I mainly still kept mine on during trips just for using it as an mp3 player.. music can greatly enhance a trip if its the right kind of music.
