phonelessness
Lacking mobile communication
Phonelessness is the state of being without a phone, particularly a smartphone.
The word captures a modern condition—whether voluntary digital detox or involuntary separation from one's device: The phonelessness of the retreat was supposed to be liberating, but I felt anxious the whole time.
It can describe temporary circumstances or a lifestyle choice.
