Do you have just a basic cell phone or do you have all the latest technology? I have a basic i760 Nextel phone. It does nothing but works. I don't text, I don't have a camera phone, I don't have a lot of games but I do have some. My husband has a camera phone and I have no idea how to take pictures with it. What about you...do you have to have the latest thing in cell phone technology or is your phone older.

Hello.I have a mobile phone with high technology.When I got it I was so happy but with time going I find that I don't often use these functions.If I would buy a new mobile phone I will choose a phone that only used for making calls and sending messages.It can be cheaper.

That was one of the key issues with this phone...it was free if I agreed to an additional two years to my contract. I could have gotten some fairly cool phones for a little more money but, as I said before, I don't need all the cool stuff and I don't want to learn how to use them either.

I have a very simple cell phone that I rarely use but I keep it for emergencies. I buy minutes for it, they roll over and I have 2100 or so stored up! It costs me $15 a month, which is affordable for me. No camera, no texting, no internet access--I don't need that stuff, I just want a basic phone for emergencies. I've been glad to have it a few times, too!

We're stuck with a plan...have been for years now which is okay because we do need to use the cell phones quite a bit. But, I don't need to text or take pictures or go online using my phone when I have two desktop computers at home, one at our business and a laptop.

I had a really "fancy" cell phone and my dog chewed it up one night, now, I have no cell phone because I just don't want to be bothered. If I had one it would call other people and nothing else lol

i have a basic phone too. it cost about $25. you may say it is cheap. yeah it is cheap. it is a basic colored phone from NOkia. model 1208. but it is a nice phone. i am not disappointed buying this one. cause it has a nice sound and ringtone already. and all the things extra that we could want in a basic phone. i don't text much either. i just it for important texting. and mostly i don't use it. and because i don't want to pay for texting services. before i have a middle end phone. but was snatched. it has music movies, camera, 3g camera, internet browsing. quite expensive though . so when it was stolen i feel so sorry about it.

I have a Nokia phone and it has a camera. Well don't really have features with the latest technology. It's okay with me if my phone don't have those latest technology. The important thing is that I can text and call.

Hello spalladino
My cell phone is a old model. I have used it for over 3 years, I don't change my cell phone until it doesn't work.
I never use it to surf internet.
I don't text too often, and even seldom make a phone call.
But I like to have my favorite song as my phone ring.

I have a Nokia that is like 2 years old. It calls and texts and that is perfectly fine with me. That is all I have to have to function. Right now I just do not see any sense in upgrading to a new one that will take me 6 months to learn how to use.

I have one of the cheapest phones out there. It doesn't have any bells or whistles and I have to open it up to check the time. I just use it for emergencies which fortunately are few and far between.
