- fear of being without your phone is called nomophobia
- if you hear your phone ringing even when it isn’t, it is called ringxiety, fauxcellarm, phantom vibration syndrome, phantom ringing syndrome, phonetom
- preferring to interact by phone rather than face to face is called phubbing
It’s funny they would choose “nomophobia” as a term. “Nomos” in greek means “law”, “phobia” of course is a greek word, so this term translates “fear of the Law”, you can imagine how silly this would sound to a Greek.
