Phones
I'm just old and cranky!!! Don't want a phone that's a computer or a bunch of crappy apps to turn it into a computer. I've got a $30 per month Virgin Mobile account with a $16 Samsung phone. Not fancy, but has reception about as good as any.
Re: Phones
For personal use I have switched to Old Age Pensioner cell phones.
No gimmicks and they look nice and fuggly like me.
For work I have to use an i-phone.
I seem to send 60% of calls into nirvana when the touch screen touches my ear. May be I'm not supposed to use it that way?

Re: Phones
Silly People. Phones are not for talking to people! Talking to people is so 20th century. Phones are for text messaging and posting on facebook every time you pop a pimple or have a bowel movement.
What?

At least go hands-free when driving. Call this guy. He'll hook you up. Cheap.

Re: Phones
I'm with ya. I have the same phone and the same VM plan. VM uses Sprint's network and coverage ain't the best, but it's good enough for me.ampdoc1 wrote:I'm just old and cranky!!!

Re: Phones
I used to be on VM. Resisted getting a smartphone until prices came down to something semi-reasonable.
T-mobile has a $30/mo plan (online or I think through Walmart only; you can't sign up for it at T-mobile stores), and you can get a new Nokia 635 phone for $129. It's a Windows 8.1 phone, well-reviewed, only notably lacking a flash for the camera.
I get being curmudgeonly etc., but there are an awful lot of ways that having maps, Web, email, access to Office documents , etc. in your pocket can prevent problems and make life easier.

Re: Phones
My family is on Metro Pcs. 4 phones with unlimited talk text and web for $120/month flat. And the service is good. Only down side is you have to buy the phones outright. Lately they have free phones though.
