Sure, it seems like a wacky question, but a recent survey shows that Young Britons would rather give up sex than live without their cell phones.
According to Reuters, one in three people would not sacrifice their cell phone for one million pounds (that's equivalent to about $1.9 million USD). Women were most likely to refuse the lump sum in exchange for the cells, while folks in the 16 and 24 age bracket would rather give up alcohol, chocolate, sex, tea, or coffee than live without their mobile phone for a month.
While the survey results both confuse and upset me, I have to ask: What would you give up for in order to keep your cell phone?

When I got my bag with my cellphone stolen a few months ago, I was really loving the period of not having a phone...it was peaceful. So I think I can give it up - for money? even betta?.
1See, I picked chocolate or my favorite cocktail, because a.) I really don't eat that much chocolate and b.) I drink wine more than I do a cocktail.
2I'd give up my cell phone (and probably a lot of other stuff) for money.
3I'd give up coffee.
4i'd give up coffee, my favourite cocktail, and chocolate for my cell phone. It'd be a great way to stop me from indulging in my unhealthy habits - especially the chocolate!
5I'd give up my cell phone for money.
6I'd give up my cell phone for money...! without a doubt
7Is this a serious question? I think about chucking the cell phone out the window like my Uncle Bud did all the time. That guy is a real renaissance man, my Uncle Bud. And Bud and I don't give up coffee for nothin'.
8I'd give my cell phone up for money. The reason is I rarely even use my cell phone cause I hate talking on the phone...so, money would be much better of course!
9That was easy...coffee because I hate it! ^.^ I don't think I could ever give up my cell phone though...not that I get a lot of calls or need it to make a lot of calls...but I don't feel safe without it seeing as how I drive a lot
10I'd give up my cell phone for sex. =P
11id give up my cell phone for sex any day but id never do it for alcohol or anything like that i need my cell and sex of course.
12i am so glad to see that most people didnt say they would give up all kinds of real fun things for cell phones. we were all fine in the 80s and before without them. plus who needs a phone if they are giving up sex and booze?!
13I'd give up my cell phone for money. I use it, but I don't use it enough to give up sex, coffee, money etc for it.
14cellphone for money any given day.
15A lot of things come before my cell phone. I may use it as a watch, maybe even a calendar, or an address book, or a tip calculator, but I have backups for those things with the exception of the tip calculator. I'm so bad on the phone anyway!
16I'd totally give up my cell phone. Half the time I hate having it. I hate text messaging, and I hate being constantly accessible. I turn it off if I'm out with someone, I turn it off when I sleep, I turn it off while I'm at work...and plus it's another bill I could totally live without.
17Bah !
18I'll give up my cell phone for money anytime...
imagine what you can do with all that extra pocket change you can buy like a dozen cell phones...LoL
what would i do without cellphone?? never leave home without it
19I carry my cell phone all the time & it rarely rings. Of course as soon as I forget it at home, I have like 16 messages. I'd definitely give it up for money, I'm not a big phone user anyway.
20for all the people who would give up their cell phone for money, do it. your phone costs money, so therefor if you don't have one, you have more money. strange how that works....
21Im not some big celeb and the only person who texts me is google so I can live without my cell phone. hey, with all that money I could go and talk to people in some far off place instead!
22What?
23Give up S.E.X?
That's crazy talk people!
Yeah id give up my cell for money... there are millions of other ways to communicate while on the go.... smoke signals, anyone?
24I feel sorry for the 23 people who voted giving up sex for their cellphone! I'd give uyp my cellphone for sex! with my boyfriend of course
I can never seem to get enough, and my celphone is just covered in dust somewhere, I never
use it. In fact I have no clue where it is.
25id def give up my cell lol....sometime i feel liek throwing out the window when people wont leave me alone
26I picked give up S.E.X but I rarely use my phone so it isnt that important to me
27but than neither is what I would give up for it
so figured losing both wont matter
considering I already Have given them both up
i honestly dont NEED my cell phone. internet on the other hand.... lol
28Cellphone. I had lived for 28 years of my life without a cellphone
29I don't need a cell phone and I never will, I think they're very overrated so I would not give up anything for a stupid cell phone.
30i would give my cell up for money...anyone wanna make an offer on my iphone
31i give up my coffee for my cell phone
32There's too many options... I don't drink coffee so of course I would give that up or maybe even alcohol
33I'd give up my cellphone and cable TV... without hesitation
I don't drink coffee, alcohol, smoke or do drugs.. so I'll gladly give up all of that as well..
All for money..
