A friend of mine told me sometimes ago that Nigerians use their cellphones to ease tension, especially when they are bored or have nothing to do. Looking at this, I think I totally agreed with him.
The question is, what do u do with your phone when u are bored, or when u want to relieve tension? This can be interesting. Please spare your experience with others.

As for me, whenever I am bored, and I just want to do something, I will start texting my friends and colleagues. If there is no credit to text, then I hook on my handsfree and tune into my FM or MP3 Player.

When I am bored, I play a game, listen to music, watch a video clip, read an e-novel or browse the WWW on my phone.

Well, you guys are right.
Anytime I get bored, mostly Sunday morning, I call (Econoet)Vmobile Customer care, and Listen to music.
I have taken flashing my friends as a hobby(anytime I am bored).
I only text my galfriend,So don't even think about it

I guess it's just about the same for everyone really. I sometimes scroll down my phone, looking for people I haven't (1) spoken to in ages or (2) returned their calls and I start dialing away (calls are free here off peak period (evenings and weekends) on all networks (some strictly the same network and some are cross network). I text a lot but with the advent of save my contacts (www.savemycontacts.com)......... AYA, e ma binu sir o.........., I send my texts from my laptop or desktop, it's faster that way. I sometimes just sit in front of the TV and record my favourite tracks on my phone, if the video is showing on TV. I used to mess about with the network provider's options till I found I was being billed HUGELY for some of them, thus ended my flipping around. I take pictures a lot with my phone and record my folks and conversations when something really funny is happening. All in all, my phone's fun when I'm really bored. And, oh, I've got as many as 10 Radio stations on it as well, so that does indeed help, esp. when I'm on my way to work, it's quite a journey.

When am bored, i play the game on my set, flash, send txt or listen to my ringtones again and again,......but can not afford to ease tension this way if there is no power to recharge later, cos it will surely tell on the battery.

whenever I am bored, I could do a number of things of my phone: scroll thru for people I have not spoken with in a long while and I flash them, read thru my text messages and send a few to some people or go through my ringtones and maybe change the previous one being used.
Later on I could play my game in a bid to get a higher score to the one my younger brother got on my phone!

when i had a nokia 6210, it served as a panacea to ease my tension during the transient reign of King Boredom... i hardly delete my text messages for the reason of days like that, and i had close to 160 text messages stored on the phone, so what i do is read thru and by the time i stuggle to get to the 100th text im sure i'd have slept off!!!!! hahahahah,, Well on the second,what i do is to try to see if i can commit to memory the order in which the names on my phone are stored... ,,
then of cause,, thats my peak flashing period!!!!!

some other times i come to sites like this to see what people have been saying,,read them and post my comments too,,, then i run to yahoo messenger!!!!!
