Cell phone or Smart phone?

it's not ATT. it's everyone.

the basic phone uses what's called symbian operating system. designed by motorola. which shut that divison down last year.

there's no future for a basic phone anymore. just like there's no future for a landline phone. be interesting to see how long centurylink lasts. but i guess if people are dumb enough to fall for that line that they actually need a dialtone to obtain a dsl signal.

 

Doesn't matter.... I'm getting so much push back on the fact that I do not have a land line. It's not even funny.

 

we've got a landline at our place, but it's pretty much only for the fax machine. Really basic service and a calling card for the long distance faxes.
There's a future for landlines...but it's not as solid as the past has been.

 

T-Lady I use faxzero to send faxes stright from my computer, all you do is scan your pages(upto 3 pages for free per fax) into your computer then go to their page and simply fill in the blanks. Then you hit send and they will send you an email that you simply respond to and then they send your fax and send you an email when it is sent. Yes the cover page may have some add on it, but that's better than maintaining a land line when your house is full of cell phones(5 in our house). You can pay a small fee $1.99 to have no adds and send upto 15 pages, I just usually send multipal faxes.

 

T-Lady I ditched the fax machine a long time ago. I use myfax.com, which gives you an 800 number for incoming, $10 a month for a lot of faxes (i've never gone over). The fax is a dying breed as well though, since emailing PDF's works so much better.

 

Will a dumb phone and laptop get me started?

 

Of course they will.

 

I already pay $250 a month for Verizon, wife and son have droids and two daughters and I have dumb phones. At some point we need to buy food too!

 

When i started driving in 2007 all I had was a crappy Sony flip phone. About 2 years ago i bought a iphone 3gs and never looked back.been thru iphone 3gs and 4, not to mention several different t droids I couldn't imagine running over the road with no smartphone. I can kill so much time playing real action games just like a xbox or ps3. I have grand theft auto on my phone and kill 3-4 hours if im not paying attention.
