Well that depends. If I am trying to meet someone at a variable time and place, then yes, I take my mobile phone. But if I am at a concert or a sports event or doing the shopping where I don't want to be interrupted then no, my mobile phone stays at home. I have my mobile phone set up so that it automatically records any incoming calls I have missed, without the incoming caller leaving a message. I find there are few calls that I get where I need to reply urgently, and there are merits in replying 'not that quickly'.

Understanding the types of transactions that appeared on the card can be helpful to determine the most likely way in which the data was stolen. Were the fraudulent transactions card-not-present (e.g. online store) or were they card-present (e.g. in-store retail) transactions? If the transactions occurred in-store, did the issuer reveal whether they were PayWave transactions, chip & pin, or mag-stripe transactions?
Successfully committing fraudulent card-present transactions using PayWave or Chip & Pin transactions is very difficult. The most common method used to commit credit-card fraud is to harvest the credit card number & CCV to commit card-not-present transactions using online retailers. These card details can be harvested from compromised websites or client devices (e.g. a copy of the card number is relayed when typed into the secure form), installing malware on a POS terminal itself, skimming the magstripe data, or simply installing cameras to record views of the upper and lower side of the card.
Who knows whether or not I'm "their" target demographic.
Now, once upon a time, about five years ago I think, I was in a shop wanting to spend some money on some small something.
Sadly, there was a power cut, so they couldn't use their EFTPOS card reader to read either my card or my phone.
Happily, I had cash.
Sadly, they couldn't use the till without power.
Happily I am a resilient bloke (and fond of systemic redundancy) and said "Take these three five dollar notes and do all your paperwork when the power comes back on. Have a great day, goodbye", and pushed the door open.
It might have been different if I'd only had a hundred buck note though. . .
I would feel naked without my phone! I use it for so much - maps, emails, torch, music, sky tv, TVNZ and other entertainment, news, aide-memoire, schedule, presentations, calendar, watch, personal trainer, shorter Oxford dictionary etc. All of which I use several times a day. And it is a credit card, eftpos and phone too! Sure there is jeopardy if it gets lost or stolen, but it us backed up to the iCloud.
