I canceled my mobile contract in March and haven't looked back since. I've become more familiar with my surroundings, more focused conversations with my peers, and have overall experienced a better quality of life. The first few weeks were pretty tough; life without GPS made it an absolutely requisite to study the route to your destination before departing, and I did have a constant urge to check a device to see if anyone "needed me" yet. This feeling became negligible after the first month, to vanishing entirely by about three months in. Sometimes, it helps to gain perspective.
