Do you keep dead people on your phone's contact list?

Yup. And no I wont remove them.

I just checked and my ex-gf’s Mom is still in my phone. She really meant a lot to me and I am going to keep it there.

I read this thread title and though, “Oh geez, no – why would I do that?” Then I realized that my sister-in-law, who passed away in May, is still in my phone. So I am on the list. And I can’t say I feel particularly compelled to delete her now, either.

Phone list no, because I don’t have a cell phone.

There are 3 deceased people on my Yahoo messenger list, though. They’ll be there 'til it’s time for me to go.

I began to read the thread and decided to delete the two dead people on my phone. I won’t miss them any less.

I have one deceased friend in my contacts list. I don’t have any pressing reason to delete it, and I enjoy seeing her name pop up from time to time as I’m scrolling through. It’s a nice random little reminder of her. It’s no big thing.

I have kept some and deleted some. Am quite inconsistent in that respect.

Removed the number of my granddad after he died. Not immediately, maybe a month later.

… does it count that my grandmother’s phone number says “grandparents”?

Not an issue on my phone contact list. For people in my email or instant messenger contacts list that I’m no longer in contact with (for whatever reason), I munge the address with leading zzzs so it won’t send and also will sort to the bottom of the list.

I do have an unused cell phone that has 2 or 3 messages from my deceased Mom that I’m meaning to but haven’t yet recorded/digitized to my computer.

I phone dead people… ALL THE TIME!

Well, mostly at weekends when I get free calls, and not if they didn’t have a landline number.
