About 66 percent of people suffer from nomophobia -- or 'no mobile phone phobia' -- proving that being with your phone at all times is an obsession that occupies every waking minute. The number of people afflicted with nomophobia was revealed in a study by SecurEnvoy, and shows a rise from a similar study four years ago, where 53 percent of people admitted the fear of losing their phone.

If you think you may suffer from nomophobia then the warning signs are:
- An inability to ever turn your phone off
- Obsessively checking for missed calls, emails and texts
- Constantly topping up your battery life
- Being unable to pop to the bathroom without taking your phone in with you.
