Do you switch off your cellphone or turn off your cellphone?

[Aamir Tariq]

I know it is a cellphone in the USA, and it is a mobile phone in the UK, so that's not the question. However, I am interested to know what it is in Australia, a cellphone or a mobile phone or something else?

Now the main question is

"Do you switch off your cellphone?" or "Do you turn off your cellphone?"

I "turn off".

"Do you switch off your cellphone?" or "Do you turn off your cellphone?"

I have a landline. I hang up.

I'd probably use "turn off," but either phrase is acceptable.

I would only turn off my cell phone, possibly while mumbling to myself that cell phone is two words.

Most likely though, I'd turn off my phone.​ "Cell" has become redundant.

They have a different time zone. They are 6 hours ahead of Pakistan, and 11 hours ahead of GMT. I hope to hear from them as well.

I turn off my phone and laptop even though the phone thinks I switch off and the computer thinks I shut down.
