Who has and what kind?

[Patze]

Okay all, here is something to be goofy with, what kind of cell phone do you have (if any)?

no cell phone here.

CELL PHONES  2 Samsungs...  not fancy...Lite weight  AND, handy as it gives both of us the DAY, DATE and TIME...

Please, we're not the only COUPLE that forgets what the date of month is, especially what day of the week it is; Are WE?  

It's a JOY to have them as hubby  is (((REALLY))) hard of hearing and we use them to locate each other, sometimes in the house!!

OH, it's no fun getting old... Well its not the Smiley icon, Wink, Cheesy, Grin, or Angry...How bout SAD    

PATZE, It is not hard for me to be 'goofy'...goes with my territory!

[Patze]

Sometimes I wish I didn't have one either Ohiocat, but these days (in my area), it pays to have one of those things.

Glad to hear that you're goofy Joy!  Nice to be in such good company (shhhh, let's not mention forgetting dates and times! )!

I have an HTC, anyone else with one?  Or like Joy, an Samsung (kidlet has one as well)?

Hi 

A Samsung here. I think they are used here more than there. Lots of text messages.

Take care - Scottie

Whole family has Tracfones.  No contracts, no monthly bills, just add minutes every 90 days (or buy a 1-yr. card) and you're good to go.

Mine is a pay as you go phone. I top it up and use it till the credit gets low and then top it up again. I don't use it all that often but it's handy if the car breaks down away from home.

I wouldn't swap it for a contract phone. They cost way more than I spend.

Take care - Scottie

Scottie . . I agree.  We use to have a "contract" phone . . we were paying $1,000 a year to just have the phone to use when we traveled.  I convinced hubby we were wasting money and we went to the pay as you go phone.  So instead of paying $1,000 for a phone we hardly use, we only pay $240 a year total (for 3 family members) for our phones.   

I couldn't see paying for all the bells and whistles for a phone that we hardly touched.  We have only had a few "issues" through the years where we haven't had enough "bars" to use the phone, but those are few and far between any more.

Bucky, I'd love to have a 'pay as you go' phone though have not been able to get our kids to be of any help. They all seem to have contract phones and ...................

If you will please be kind enough to suggest where I look for one.

Have seen something at Wal-Mart but did not know what type to ask for.

I'm not a cell phone person and only use mine when I want to make a call....

Thanks, Bucky, any help will greatly appreciated.

I have a LG Viewety.  It has a good 5 megapixel camera which I wanted it for.  I am on contract and have unlimited texts as I use text more than calls.

I have a Pantech (AT&T).  Even though half the time I can't get it out of my purse in time to answer it!

[SLEEPY101]

I am not sure what kind, its a little silver one. I always get yelled at for never answering!  I don't have a blue tooth, so my excuse is, I must have been driving:)                                                     

[tangowhiskie]

I have an HTC Hero/android with Sprint.  I used to have an iPhone with AT&T but the coverage in my area is crap and AT&T is waaaay too expensive!

[Bucky]

Sunshine - I know exactly what you mean!!  I very seldom get a call that when I do and finally realize that it's my phone making that noise - it's been going off for a bit.  LOL   

A couple weeks ago I had a friend visiting from out-of-state.  We went and played bingo.  I meant to turn my phone on vibrate but forgot.  My brother in another state sent a text message and my phone goes off.  Same thing . . by the time I realize it's me - this lady sitting behind us says quite loudly . . . "get your phone!" . . and I said . . . "I'm working on it!".

Hi TW, I too just switched over to Sprint from Verizon myself and am loving the new HTC phone (android).  Whew, it's like going from the stone age with the old LG to the new age in one easy step!
