I donтАЩt have a smart phone eitherтАжonly got a cell ph years back to use while traveling out of state & rarely use it, but carry it with me in case of emergencies. I have a pre-paid plan for $5 month & I loved my old, very small, cell with a slide-out qwerty keyboard, so I could easily do the rare text msg. Well well wellтАжwhen 5G came along I was told my old phone would not longer operate, I went into may carrier to get a new phoneтАжthey tried and tried to upsell me into a smart phone (they are WAY too big if all you want to do is make a call or send a text)тАФI kept asking will my $5 a month plan work with this phone? If not, I do not want itтАФwhy pay for something IтАЩll hardly use. Finally the guy went in the back & probably dug around at the bottom of some drawer and came out with a flip-phone. JeezтАжI hate the thingтАжthe size is right, but the features suck & I donтАЩt bother even trying to send a text because itтАЩs such a hassle type out (no qwerty on this phone). Have been searching the тАШnet for alternatives & think I have come up with one that will work w/ my flipтАЩs SIM cardтАжfingers crossed!
I can see that. I am not against smart phones or tv's it's just where I ended up on the scale of using technology. Heck, I'm typing on a computer to you right now.
Nice talking to you again Mike. It had been a while.
I dropped tv many years ago. Don't own one. Don't miss it.
Likewise.
Yep, going on 5 years no TVтАжand happy!
I don't own a smart phone either. A flip phone works for me.

Interesting. I did not either for years because it just seemed ridiculous to spend that kind of money for a trinket.
Then, my daughter punted off her iPhone 6 to me and said I was missing all of the family texts/communication now that they had gone off to college.
So, I started using it. She sends me all kinds of stuff, so, honestly, I don't mind it really.

Very good Barbara. You are, of course, welcome to help me with my yard work as well!
:-)
Glad to!
