Six out of 10 office workers get 'withdrawal symptoms' if they are deprived of mobile phone signal for more than an hour, a new survey has claimed.
Around 60% of workers said they become "annoyed or anxious" if they can't make calls and get email during the working week.
Only 10% said that being deprived of signal made them 'relieved' - even though a quarter said that receiving a work email outside of office hours made them stressed.
The stats were revealed in a poll by YouGov for outsourcing company Firstsource Solutions. More than 2,100 adults were asked about their mobile habits via an online survey.
Other stats in the report revealed that 30% of UK office workers go online with their mobile during the day - and one in 10 do so more than five times a day.
What do you think? Do you get stressed without mobile signal?
