Remember your mobile phone! Why?

 Remember your mobile phone when you leave home, or leave a restaurant or the car. Why?

If you leave it at home, as a member of my family did yesterday:

1 You cannot phone the family when you are out to say when you will be back.

2 You cannot phone your meeting to tell them you will be late, but are on your way.

3 You cannot take photos for holiday souvenirs or business records, eg visiting a tenant's flat to do an inventory.

4 You cannot pay car parking charges at a train station or UK street which are set up to let you pay by phone and are decreasingly allowing pay with physical money such as notes of coins. (They must have found it too much trouble to pay somebody to go round collecting the money. Or had theft by the empolyeee. Or theft from the machine.

I googled and on Reddit I found three suggestions for those who forget their phone when it is set up in a car for receiving mesages and using it for Satnav.
