Fears and superstitions creep up each Friday the 13th, but there’s a new phobia developing worldwide that has caused anxiety and stress for many: mobile phone separation.

In fact, the fear of being without your mobile phone — also called nomophobia — affects a large portion of the population, according to new data highlighted by T-Mobile in the below infographic.

A recent survey commissioned by T-Mobile and conducted by Kelton Research found that 25% of respondents would rather leave the house without a credit card than a mobile phone and 29% would prefer to be without cash. Nearly half of Americans said they miss their phones within an hour of being without it.

However, men believe they can last longer without their mobile device than women, saying they can go two hours longer than females before they really start to miss it.
