while there are certain advantages to having one, I just simply don't want the bill that goes along with having one. Some day in the not so distant future I'll probably have to cave in and get one because so many things are getting to the point where you're almost forced to have one because businesses all want you to use an AP. My employer has an employee portal on the internet to use to view your check, make changes to your deductions, call in sick, and so forth, and you have to have a mobile device to even be allowed to use it. It's almost odd looking back at the way I grew up in the days of land line telephones and letters in the mail. One thing that I notice where I work is that when everyone goes to break or lunch in the break room, nobody talks. Everyone just sits there looking at their phones. Personally, I don't like that. So I'm going to try to hold out for as long as I can even though it's a losing battle.

I'm not too far behind you. I have a flip phone and am lucky to even turn it on about once a month. Since my wife has an account, me having a phone doesn't cost that much more so I have one. But I rarely use it. I never carry it. It stays in the truck and gets used about once a month. I don't get very good signal where I live so they are useless around here. I have a laptop and the internet here at home so I don't have a need for a zombie-phone.

I do like the freedom of not carrying a zombie-phone around and being tied to it. Everywhere you go, you see people in their trancelike state starring into the little square eye hoping someone is starring back at them.

Cell phones are awesome devices as well as the Apple Watch. If I have a heart attack and fall over while I’m detecting and I’m not moving, the Apple Watch will call 911 for me.
Your not a zombie carrying a cell phone until you’re on one while driving.

I Just got Roped into one of those Square Phones Yesterday I Hope I didn't make a Mistake.

ATT Is Charging me $53 for simple phone Service for my Flip Phone.

I had to Call Comcast to come up Wednesday & Move me to my New Residence.
While She had me on the Phone,

she asked what I was paying, She told me Under $20.00 she can supply me with a Phone & service.
Of course with Tax & Fees $20 is probably what I'll save . it will be around $30
a Month.

But I Bit. [TABLE="class: MsoNormalTable, width: 100"]

All things they say I Had to agree to, I Would have Preferred Just the phone , Service

My Flip phone is Pretty Old anyway & The battery never fully Charges.

I'll still only use it for Phone calls anyway.

Thing is she claimed Comcast Has a Bigger area then ATT.
When I Had Verizon, All the areas I went were Dead Areas.
Hopefully I Didn't get Scammed & Have to Switch Back.

Like my Flip Phone the Camera Lens will need to be Blocked

My wife and three daughters have always had iPhones. They've been lost dropped in toilets and just quit functioning. I just got a new Samsung Galaxy S10 last week to replace my old Motorola which I've had since 2013 and it was only replaced because I changed carriers. I'm convinced there's a hexafoo on iPhones and I've seen it first hand. Glad to hear you found it though.

 

[jeff of pa]

I've dropped 2 Flips In toilets

Of course I Would immediately go to radio Shack . Get a Cheapo Replacement,
& Get the Girls to Remove the sim Card. I'd tell them in the sink so they didn't Go ballistic about
Flavor on the Phone they were Handling

I been an over the road peddler for 30 years and use to have a 12 digit call card number memorized to use at all the payphones I knew of. It was Rand McNally that got me around all the towns and cities throughout Colorado, New Mexico, Arizona Nevada and California. Out in the open country I just became familiar of the ways to go and where I'm at, by all the many landmarks I've come to know.

You still have a Radio Shack? I thought they went belly-up years ago.....

 

[RustyGold]

Like a firearm, I’d rather have it if needed not need it and don’t have it. Or something to that effect.

I've been Wondering on that.

No The 3 Radio Shacks near me are Gone.

This was Talk of What I Used to do in the Past

 

[BLK HOLE]

I am a poor senior with a landline phone which does not get much use and a free government phone that I only use a few times in the first of the months so I do not lose the service.

 

[jeff of pa]

I tried the Free Phone Thing.
My Hearing was Not Good enough for it.
& was too Tiny for my Hands & Fingers.

I was asking Huh ? Too many times. Ya Get what ya Don't pay for I Guess

I know people paying close to $100/mo. for wireline phone. If you have home internet go to digital (VOIP) phone and cut your phone bill in half.

My Sprint Galaxy 6 costs me $35 a month. Can't do much better than that.Cost is really no excuse any more.
You just have to ask for the smaller amount of data. If you don't watch movies all day and live on fakebook, you don't need more than 2 gigs a month.
Wal Mart has "straight Talk" phones for about the same money.
With either you get to keep the same number too.
If you can post here, you can certainly learn to use a smart phone.
