    You youngsters probably have no interest in the subject, but you will eventually... How often do you go through your cell phone Contacts, to delete the dead ones? :^)

    Soon after they have gone. But the ones I love live on in my heart.

      I was weeding my phone a couple of months ago, came across a couple that had been gone 2 or 3 years (and several that are still alive afaik, but out of touch or no longer relevant). I am still pissed at my bro who erased my father's answering machine greeting a day or two after he died. I wanted to save a copy, one of very few records of his orator's voice. Cheers, Peter

        Fortunately it was not neceassary until now for the lost ones because the partners are still alive and did not use mobile phones. For the dead phone numbers of the young ones who freqently change their provider: I have stopped adding them to my contacts.

            It's in the blood. Me and my mother are detached as well, and both my father and my wife are regularly bewildered of that.

                  Dead as in no longer living, or dead as in you doubt the need to ever contact them again? Either way, I clean house once or twice a year. Try to keep things relevant.

                      Had to read through the entire thread before I realized that your use of the word 'dead' was meant in a literal sense and not metaphorical. With the increase in inexpensive storage space, I only remove contacts which I can't remember any details about. If a person has passed away, they are still in there. If I look through the list and see their name, it is a reminder of the good times we shared. Otherwise any contact I made over the course of my life or career might be useful down the line, even if I need to make an effort to track them down. On the other hand if it is a person that I don't wish to associate with any more, I move them to the blocked contact section instead.

                        As soon as I think of it - sometimes it's within hours or days. Certainly within a couple weeks.

                          Ugh, yeah. I do regret that I don't have any recordings of my parents' voices.

                              Never. That's because I never add any in the first place. I have just 3 contacts, (wife, home, boss) and the phone won't answer to any call not in the contact list. :-)

                                I just saw this on Big Bang Theory. I've only had to delete one for a colleague since I didn't know her family and had no reason to call them.

                                  So, you're never going to answer if I call again? ;P You're still in my contact list, BTW, but I may have to delete you for not saving my number. ;)
