I had never heard of the medical term for mobile phone addiction, and I guess you din't either, as very few people looked at my blog Nomophobia, but that is what it is called! Who comes up with these names. I guess I would have used what most people would recognise, mobilephobia.
It means fear of being without your phone, and it is easy to get sucked into thinking you need your mobile with you day and night, alone or with others.
It is not funny being with someone who is texting, while you are sitting there like a dummy.
It is addictive though, and can mess up your head and cause great anxieties.
Don't believe me? Try leaving your phone switched off for the next six hours, and notice if you feel anxious or not. If you don't, great, you don't suffer with Nomophobia. If you do, well ..........
