I never had bought one since 2010. My sister gave me her old Samsung Galaxy note7 last 2013. Just last year 2018 she gave me again her Iphone7 perfect because the last phone she gave me last 2013 did not work that well anymore. So, I was glad I don’t need to buy new one for replacement.

Ok.. So, basically you buy mobiles when you actually need a new one. You don't have a fascination for gadgets..

@Sheali I have my old mobile phone that still works and it's everything I need to bring with me in case of an emergency call. At home I use my desktop computer for Internet and I have a laptop and a tablet to bring with me when I travel.

Hi, That is a decent number. Did you buy them because you actually needed a new one or you because you were bored of the previous ones?
@Nevena83 (65277)

No one. I never bought a cell phone, I always got them.

Well, I have bought a few since 2010. I have counted 5 phones, plus the one I currently have 6. Though the one I have now is rubbish, so nothing compared to the ones I used to have :(
