. . .I think I'll stick with the old flip phone I've had for years . .
I still have one and was satisfied with it, but the
"network" or whatever wouldn't allow it to work
anymore, and one day it just stopped working
and I couldn't receive or send a call.
No malfunction or defects with it, just
whoever changed the policy/rules/operations
and it wouldn't function and had to be replaced.
That's a small part of what happens when
you put too much of your infrastructure
in the care of electronic technology
Admittedly, being an old man I really don't grasp the entire cell phone mess. Some time ago I had a "Jitterbug' flip phone, and I liked it, however Verizon suddenly stopped serving them for some reason. So I got another phone, I believe by LG..which I did not care for at all.
Now the old Jitterbug is re-introduced.. called Jitterbug flip 2.. I got one and like it, although I don't use all the services. THere is some kind of a
deal going for reinbursement for the original Jitterbug owners...which I don't understand, or care about.
Extras I do use.. Alexa is already on the phone..and provision for a help line...in case I fall in a crevasse on a glacier..
My son and his wife, both have the costly cell phones (about $1500) because of my son's business, but they are having connection problems..even after changing phones and servers.. I don't understand it all, but they are presently very vexed with the cell phone situation.
