I listened to BBC Learning English. It was about a mobile phone. Mobile phone is called a cell phone or a cellular phone in Canada and USA. Could you live without your mobile phone?

But some people love leaving it behind because it means they won't be bothered at all.
NEW WORDS :
mobile (n) : a small phone that you can take anywhere
private life (n) : the things you do away from work, e.g. at home
