I use a flip hone that I got in 2007, one battery replacement that I was, very easily, able to do myself. I, too, use it only for calls. I can read a text but it is too frustrating to text back, I just hit "K" and sent it back.

Kolor me oldish. I like a phone for phone calls!
Took me a LONG time to realize it also doubled as a camera.
If any of the youtherz could see me type on that tiny little thing for a text, they'd laugh me out of the world of electronicals.
Pinkie. Yes, one finger typing and it's the pinkie.
I so suck at that.

I've owned two cell phones in my life. One, I bought in 2013 and used for about two weeks. Although, *used* isn't really right. I carried it with me on a long road trip and made a call or two. Several years later, my mother expressed an interest in having a cell and I thought I'd get the '13 unit activated for her. It was a solid, attractive build. That's when I found out it would cost as much to get it activated as it would cost to buy a new one. Oh well, she didn't really need one any more than I did.
I bought my second one as a communications stop-gap after Hurricane Michael knocked out the area land-lines for a couple of months in 2018, and used it a couple of times. Cell towers were damaged too, but it kinda worked. I sold it for half what I paid.
My concept of a telephone is something that plugs into the wall. Although I do use a VoIP phone (THAT's nifty). I have an actual camcorder and an actual digital still camera. Each will do the job of the other, but not as well. My phones could take pictures and video in a pinch, but not as well as actual cameras. And PLEASE, cellphone videographers, if there's a chance you're going to want to share your masterpieces, turn the cell to landscape and record in 16:9!!!
When I'm alone in my car, the LAST thing I want is to receive a phone call, especially to get a lower rate credit card or buy a maintenance contract for my car. I enjoy my alone time and don't want anyone bursting my bubble.
Once my employer sent me out of town and required me to carry a company cell. I reluctantly agreed, with the understanding that if they needed to call me they'd have to call twice. Once, so I'd know to stop the vehicle...and the second call several minutes later to speak with me.
Oh, and I wear a wristwatch too.
That's it. Confession over. Rant done. I'm the last remaining cell refusenik in the USA.

I got tablets and computers if I want to go online.
Damn HCC you're worse than me. I get the image thing. I've gotten a lot of images sent that I don't know what they are or what I'm supposed to do with them so I just click the thumbs up thing and let it go at that.

Good morning boys n girls. Yesterday had to be the day from hell. There's not enough room to tell you but to skim over it the day started with a dead battery because my grandson left my interior lights on and left my door open all night. A $75.00 jump, a new battery to replace the new battery I had, an appt. I went to twice, almost having my car towed, finally making appt. 2nd time and spending 6.5 hrs. there. I think that covers the highlights. Good part, new battery and a $120.00 jump starter that will always remain in my trunk. Oh and having 2 wonderful new mods to vape on thanks to our very own DP a nice guy and a gentleman extraordinaire.
I have grown to like my smartphone, altho I admit it is smarter than me! I'm with Republic Wireless, and their texting app syncs with my desktop computer...meaning old lady eyes can actually read and reply!! Unlimited talk and text, 1gig data for $23 a month. I use wifi mostly, so I rarely use data. And I never answer when I'm driving. If they can't bother leaving a voice mail, I didn't want to talk to them anyway! And away from my home desktop, speech to text is my BFF 
Happy Belated Birthday Darling Kat

You're NEVER alone here, John, as the spirit remains a connecting factor. Indelible, and unaffected by things that sometimes impact mere mortals.
That being said, even the best of us sometimes gets...
I think I bought a mod from that guy....

Big hugs to you~

I started to get Ronery..... too
Oh, don't be giving us any of that right now. All you'd need to do is to step out into your driveway, and yell, "NOINERS!!!!", and 35 friends would show up; all howling and carrying on and what-not...
Livin' the good life.
This is Brutal !!!!... The last 6 games I've had to get up from the great room and stand in the kitchen. I've thought I'd lose every game... yet here I am.
BTW.... You absolutely cannot place a QB on the field better than Russ.
.......< Those were more periods. If he could get half a team, they would never leave.
DID you see him throwing those long 4 and 5 balls and they couldn't touch them !!!

NO argument on the talent you speak of, but methinks there's a new sheriff in town.
That's not to say they're going to win, but I ain't NEVAH seen anything like THIS before.
