Welcome to Phone Free February

Phone Free February is a global campaign that aims to promote healthier smartphone use by challenging you to go without your phone for the month of February.

Every day, we spend over 2 hours on our phones every day, accomplishing tasks that include chatting, shopping, gaming and watching videos. But while phones help us achieve many important tasks, they are also designed to keep us hooked.

Phone Free February challenges you to change the way you use your phone.. Join a like-minded community and take a month to renegotiate the relationship you have with your handheld devices.
