[QUOTE="RJM, post: 1109740, member: 70218"] I carry a cellphone on the Camino for all the obvious reasons in modern society. My plane tickets, bus tickets, the occasional albergue reservation etc are all in the phone. I have also used it to communicate with other pilgrims I have met so we can meet up for dinner, drinks etc. It is useful for that, but otherwise it is turned off and I only rarely have it in my hand when I walk and I certainly don't break it out when having meals or drinks with other people. I would say that not bringing a mobile phone in an attempt to break free from the bonds of modern society is rather silly and one is fooling oneself in doing so because in all likelihood you got to the Camino with the assistance in some form or fashion from the internet and all the accommodations and cafes etc run with same. I don't think here would be any courage involved in not bringing one. It's just a device and if you don't bring it at some point in the walk you will need one for something such as checking on plane, train etc schedules and you will borrow somebody else's. To me courage on the Camino would be walking it with a disability or the like. but yes, I too think it's rather sad to see a bunch of people sitting around staring at their cellphones like zombies instead of talking to each other or exploring.....
