Dare I admit, I'm using an LG basic cell phone that is 4 or 5 yrs old. The contract is long ago expired.
I still have original cell service company....other than names changing as they are bought by one another.
My original contract was March 1997; same cell #.......(currently Verizon)
I want to update but hate to spend the money.....my grandfathered in contract is 29.99---350 min, free nights after 9 and free weekends.
My phone can be used to text or limited internet usage but that would raise the monthly fee..........

For the past week, I have been getting to know my brand new Droid Razr Maxx. This thing is really nice! Large screen. Super responsive. And the best battery of any phone our there period.
I've had my iPhone 3GS since last August and am very highly considering switching back to a BlackBerry (when my contract is us) since my last BB had the option to turn off texting. I wish the iPhone would do that.
Sure, I hear some people say they just don't like talking on the phone. To each their own. Although I haven't ruled it out just yet, I may very well go strictly voice, regardless of the "convenience" of texting. For that matter, you may as well just call me at home, on my land line. After all, cell phones USED to be strictly for emergency purposes only.
Anymore, people chase one another down as if it IS an emergency, only just to carry on a casual conversation...especially while driving.

Ya, our texts are strictly between my wife and I and usually between 100 and 200 total messages a month. Many of them are 1-3 words.
As far as driving, I simply do not answer my phone when I am behind the wheel (or usually even in the passenger seat!).

That's about the same here. I mean, we have the unlimited text package just so we can have the unlimited M2M calling. One one hand, it's nice since it's essentially two decent features for the price of one, yet on the other we don't text or talk that much on our phones. Well, actually Mrs. Dagwood does more than I do. But, that's a typical lady, right?
As for the answering while driving, unless it's my wife, I don't either unless I'm expecting a phone call from someone else. There's nothing more frustrating than trying to listen, talk, and drive in Dallas suburb traffic all at the same time...
I had an Android. I really disliked it, so I switched back to my BlackBerry last month. I want an IPhone, but with finances the way they are....I will stick with Cricket plans!
