Despite the increased amount of attention on Nomophobia, no cure or prevention method has been proven to effective against it. The most common measure to deter Nomophobia has been online articles and videos that increase awareness of Nomophobia. For example, online communities such as Singapore Hardware Zone and the Straits Times forum that allow advocates to voice their opinions and suggest solutions for this issue. In such articles, self-help measures are being suggested as recommendation for mobile phone addicts.
However, this efforts in combating Nomophobia is far from sufficient. Purely increasing awareness will not deter teenagers from falling into the trap of Nomophobia and within the youth community, there is no powerful influence to mitigate the peer influence and the strong culture of mobile social networking. As mentioned earlier, most teenagers fail to consider Nomophobia as a negative behaviour, and even when they realise this issue, they lack the necessary self-control to remedy the problem.
