Are You The Type Of Changing Your Mobile Phones Often?

Hello npadecio. I don't think that I am the kind of people who follow thefashion of keeping changing my cell phones because of the new modals unless it is totally free. I don't usually change my cell phone unless it is poor in receiving signals or some other defects that affect the normal daily use of it. Otherwise I keep using the same one. Have a good day, friend.

well i am addicted to this thing... i have been using mobile phone for 6 or 7 years and most probably i have change some 60 to 70 cell phones.... i get bored after using a particular mobile for a month or so and then look to sale that one and purchase a new cell phone..

I don't change phones that often. It actually takes me years before I change mobile phones. I remember my very first phone lasted five years, the second three (and I'm still using it), and my third phone is about a year old now. I've been a cellphone user since 1999, so imagine the phone model I've been using for five years. My bestfriend threatened to flush my phone down the toilet if I didn't replace it because it was already obsolete. So, to answer your question, no I don't change mobile phones often.

it will be so stupid of me to purchase new phone's everytime .it's a waste of money,every time there will be new phones coming in the market but it does not mean to purchase every time,just buy one that suits u and all u r need.

I haven't changed my phone in 4 years, and when I bought my new phone, I bought one exactly like I had before...a basic flip phone. I never use anything but the call feature on my phone. I'm not even sure what features it all has, but I do know I can't take photos/videos with it...and I don't want to. I also don't text, nor do I want to. I don't access the internet, nor do I want to with my phone. I just like a plain old phone.

Every now and then there are new phone available in the market with new features that every one would like to get the chance to enjoy it. But me I am person who could not afford that much. So I dont have that luxury to keep on changing from one phone to another. For 10 years that I've been using mobile phone, I've only change it once. My very first mobile phone was samsung unit and it took 8 years that I've been using that phone. I really like that phone, just love it so much. Since it was busted and could no longer function the same. I was forced to change it. But its still the same brand with different model because that unit is no longer available in the market.

As much as I would like to I couldn't afford it. Even then my mobile phones just turned antique on me. If it won't be damaged I wouldn't change into a new one. I find it expensive, unnecessary, and tiring to change the contacts every now and then. It's a waste of money because after you have a new one 2 weeks after there would be a new model. So your phone will never be new.

Not usually no. We wait for our contract to run out. That is usually 2 years. Then we update with the new free phone available with the contract renewal.

Nope, not really, till now i've just changed only 2 phones. The first phone i got was my Dad's Nokia 3315, then another Nokia 1108(again used by my Dad).And after using these phones for 4 years, i finally got Nokia N73 in 2008 and i'm still using it as my primary phone. And i must say,its been more than 2 years, and the phone is in really great condition and it still fulfill my basic requirements like music, gaming,web and doc viewer and its got a great camera too. It just lack one thing and that is Wi-Fi. If this phone had the Wi-Fi, then it would be a perfect phone for me. But now i'm considering to buy a new phone preferably a Windows phone.Might get a new phone after my final exams(In June). Happy mylotting!!!!!!!!

Not as often as I would like. I use to change phones often, but lately I realized that it is money down the drain when I have a perfectly good one still working. So now, I wait for my phone to conk out. I make sure that I make the most out of it. I use the music player, camera, web browsing and calendar function all the time just so I will be satisfied that I got the most bang for my buck.

I'm not that type of person. I get a new phone, maybe once a year if it turns out I actually need one. For me to need one, the fuction of the phone has to go down quite a lot. I have to get frustrated when doing simple tasks. I don't requitre a fancy phone, but usually if I want a touch screen, I usually get the bells and whiseles that come with it. Like "real" web browsing and what not. I don't have enough money for a data plan to pay each month for the web. But, for the limited web I normally use, The little is more than enough. I can check out weather alerts and view the weather. That's all the more I browse the web for on my phone. If I want to perform a more complex fuctions, I have a lap top with portable wireless internet that is just as easy to use.

Not me. As you have aptly put it, in this modern century, technology has advanced at such a crazy pace that it seems there are always new products in the market every single day. There are so many brands and makes of mobile phones, it's really hard to keep track. I have been holding on to my present mobile phone for almost 4 years now. It still functions well, and the sound is still great. Not even the feature-rich iPhone can make me switch to it.

Yes, technology is advancing and changing too quickly these days, but not me,lol. I don't change mobile phones every time a new one comes out in the market. Actually, my phones are already out of date,lol. I am thinking of buying a new one though, just because my phones are messing up already, but not a high-end one. happy mylotting!

Good question! I've replaced a mobile phone three times:1) when I dropped it at a concert 2)when I dropped it for something like the 200th time, and it failed to turn back on and I change my mobile phone this year,because his become old,besides, I liked his other. Good day!!

I used to change phones every 2 years or so. And I didn't always change to new & latest models. Reason why cell phone companies give a discount on a cell phone is because they get you into 2 year contract. It takes them about 16 to 18 month to get their money back for the discount on their phones. From what I understand, between $10 - $25 of your monthly bill goes to paying for the discount they gave you. Issue I had with that is after 2 years, they don't give you a discount on your bill. You're still paying $10 - $25/month extra when your phone is already paid for, which means it's pure profit for them. Let's say Nokia company charges AT&T $150 for a certain model phone. T-mobile will turn around & gives you the phone for free but you have to sign a 2 year contract. Let's say you pick $39.99 plan. Actually, they can charge $29.99 & still turn up a profit. But they set up the plans so that $29.99 plan, they'll charge $39.99. After 15 month, you've already paid $150 extra which means they've made up the money they lost with giving you the phone. Basic idea is called "back door money". That's how it was explained to me by my friend who used to work for district corporate office in one of the carriers. That being said, I used to think if I'm paying for the phone, might as well get a new phone out of it. I'm not talking about phones that were 100's of dollars. Ones that were free or around $20. One of the things surprised me recently was that T-Mobile came out with new plans. If you buy the phone out right, paying "retail suggested price", then you can pick a monthly plan that's $10 cheaper per month. If you want the same phone but wanna pay less, you can sign 2 year contract & pay less for the phone, but your monthly bill will go up by $10. They are called "Even More" plan & "Even More Plus" plan. http://www.t-mobile.com/shop/plans/Cell-Phone-Plans-Overview.aspx?WT.z_HP=shop_plans_DL. Now I'm on their unlimited plan & I'm paying around $80/month. That's including taxes & fees. That plan includes everything unlimited, talk, text & data. It's a non-smart phone plan so it's little cheaper. I don't think I'll be changing my phone anytime soon.

Yes i have a habit of switch over to new mobile. While i was in my college i would have changed almost 13 mobile models. I love to use new arrivals in market. But i dont throw my used mobile i have a collection. Cheers

Yes, I do. I am a self confessed gadget freak. I like changing mobile phones once in a while. I have got my very first mobile phone when I was in 6th grade. My family and relatives surprised me with a JRC mobile phone. after JRC, i bought a bosch phone then followed by a series of nokia series like nokia 5510, 3210, 6150, 6210, 6510, 7650, 7710, 8250, 6610, n70, n82, 5530 xpressmusic, e63 and other brands like sony ericsson p800, p990, motorola v3x, samsung, lg cookie, etc... i am currently using 4 mobile phones- apple iphone 2g, ruby red nokia e63, nokia n81 8g and a basic samsung phone. :) you know, it feels good whenever i have a new gadget... it helps me to forget my uncertainties in some way.

No ,I'm not fond of changing mobile phones often .The phone I used now is about 2 years .Though it doesn't have advanced functions ,I like it .As long as it doesn't have big problems ,I will take it.I will have feelings for the things that I get along with for a long time .I will treat it like my friends .

for me,it's not quite practical if you change phones regularly.as if you've been addicted to it.i usually change my phone after 2 years or more depending on the functions of the phone.because the more it falls of the ground,the more it will not function well.i have niece that's so hyperactive that sometimes she throws anything she sees.sometimes,for me it also depends on what are the features of the phone and how much are you willing to spend on that.i'm not the type of person who is after the new products,because for sure its too expensive.as of now,i've been doing just online money,that's not big enough to buy new cellphone.when i got my savings maybe i'll buy new one and sell my old phone.

No I use my mobile phone so that I could talk on it. I don't care of the numerous functions a phone may have because I have noticed the more functional the phone is the easier it breaks.I just need a hard battery and vibration so that I never miss a call.
