(1) There are many people who can't/couldn't live without their cellphones. (2) I have a friend whose father runs a nice restaurant in this town. Hirashin Last edited: 2 Sep 2016

Also, "cellphone(s)" or "cell phone(s)" (i.e., one word or two words) are both fine. The two-word variation is more common.
