Telephones have come a long way since they were first invented. Like most things in society today, they’ve been shaped and changed by computer technology and the advent of satellite communications. For one thing, people are no longer tied to a specific location to send and receive phone calls. For another, many people can now do a lot of different things with their phones, from talking to someone to sending or receiving texts to surfing the web and checking their email.
They can even order products and make payments from their phones. For that matter, a number of people write and post using cell phones.
Cell phones have been made possible by the computer technology and satellite communications we have today.

I don’t use a cell phone

Mobile phones have certainly come a long way over the years. I tend not to use mine too much, but I use it mostly to make phone calls and send/receive texts. I also sometimes check my emails on it.
It appears that most people use them for calls and texts, so you are in the majority. :))
To call people and to send text messages,surf the web.
Many people use their cell phones that way. I so rarely surf with my phone that I can’t remember the last time I did. That is what my desktop is for. LOL
I am kind of old fashioned since I do not have a cell phone. Yet.
Do you have a landline? Or no phone at all?
Smartphones are expensive and cheaper smartphones are not reliable
They can be expensive, but they don’t have to be. Mine is an LG and it has been reliable for three years now. It didn’t cost me anything for the phone. For the first month, I just had to pay $45 for an unlimited card. I’ve paid $31 a month ever since.
I rarely use my cell phone as a phone lol….I use it to text message, surf the web, etc.
I know quite a few people that are the same way, including my son and daughter.
Looks like I am in the majority, all calls and texts on my phone.
That’s how I use mine, though I don’t send texts, I only receive them. :))
I play mobile games =) And of course I make calls, send text messages and sometimes serf the web.
I’m a bit old-fashioned. I mostly use mine for phone calls. I have a kindle fire if I want to play games. :))
I don’t have one right now.
That is rather a rarity in the US. LOL Mine is through Straight Talk. The phone cost nothing and I pay $31 per month.
I will have to look into that. ty : D
