My cellphone has taken the place of my computer & tablet. Like you, I use the phone function very rarely to talk to family and friends. I'd say 90% of all calls on my phone come from dirt bag scammers and spammers.

I have a land line for my phone. If someone wants to reach me I tell them to call and leave a message if it's important. I have owned a cell phone for over twenty years (I can't even remember when I first bought one) but it's strictly for emergencies. It sits on my kitchen table with the volume turned off unless I go out of town. I tell everyone not to call me on the cell phone number because chances are I will never even know you called. I feel sorry for this generation of cell phone users walking around with their faces buried in their phone never noticing what's going on around them.

I didn't get a cell phone until about 15 years ago. I basically needed to have it for work. I was in my 30s and hadn't had one that whole time. It always felt like a leash. You're always available. I don't see a problem with not having one but in today's world with texting, apps, etc., it's become a near necessity.

I use my cellphone to text only because I can’t talk.
When they call me,I try answer and they just hang up on me. It’s kinda funny sometimes. sec |

I have an old Samsung Rugby that I carry when I go camping or fishing or when I know I'm going to be expected to scan or install something. It came in extra handy during covid when you were asked to verify your vax and they didn't want to accept my vaccination record that I printed of my brother printer that I made in Libre Office.

I still might keep it just in case. Occasionally I would talk with other people like Sec, brother, E6, teabag etc. Last edited by HayWire; 07-04-2024 at 11:08 AM.. |
