How many people here don't own a smartphone?

[outlander]

I always loathed smartphones and avoided them until 5 years ago when I started delivering for DoorDash and UberEats. That being said I have a flip phone for personal communication and literally only use my smartphone for work apps and immediately turn it off after each work shift.

With the rising gas prices and dropping hourly pay rate they now offer, gig work is really not worth it anymore in my opinion. I was kinda bummed about that because I still feel like working, but realized I can get rid of my smartphone for good

I don't own one. The convenience of a mobile phone is pretty cool, but I just want it to be a phone.

Never owned any kind of cell phone and never will.

i got a dumb flip-fone....

I own an older iPhone11 and rarely use it as a telephone.

For me, it’s a miniature portable computer.

In the end it just a tool, if you have a use for such a tool great and if you don’t have a use for such a tool great.

I'm not one...I love my Iphone.. I've had 5 different models over the years... upgrade every few years.... my current one is a 12 Pro so I'm overdue for a new one..

Being a bit of a Luddite, I fought getting a smart phone. I thought my flip phone was all I needed.

But when I did convert, my eyes were opened BIG. I use my phone as a computer more than I use my laptop these days.

I don't have a "fancy" or expensive smart phone....just one that's a little smarter than me. I've had this one for maybe five years now and it's getting near time for a new one as this one is getting a little quirky.

I resisted the so called smart phone for awhile, but my company gave us an Iphone and I have to be honest ... I got hooked.

I try not to spend too much time on it. I don't go out to eat and spend all my time on the phone, or go to sporting/music events and spend all my time filming the event ... but I do play little games on it while watching tv and spend more time than I should watching funny cat videos.

Smart phone eh?
Do you know what the kids call the rotary dial?
A digit spinner for old people.

Had a smartphone for years, iPhone since they came out. Use it mostly as a camera though.

iPhone is my main phone, but I have a backup Jitterbug sitting on my night stand.

I have a smart phone, gets used for lots of things.

I have an Android had for 5 yrs, am thinking of getting Smartphone

I use an Android Smartphone, but I've cut back on using it for anything other than texting and phone calls. I am so leery of all the apps I used to use, these days, that I've removed them.

An Android is my regular phone. I like the size of it at home, and ease of use with the bigger screen, bigger buttons. But I do not like taking it with me when leaving home, unless I need it for MAPS (driving directions) to unfamililar places. So, when I go somewhere, I foward all calls to a flip phone which I can carry easily in my pocket. Then when I get back home, I cancel call forwarding and put the flip phone away in a drawer until next time.

Mack, I do not use my flip phone at all. It has been laying in a drawer for ages, but what you said here sounds like a great idea. Taking my Android all over the place is a nuisance.

 

[CallMeKate]

I own one, but it's turned off and in my purse for emergency use only at this point. I'm not a phone (or text) person, and anyone I talk with regularly knows to find me in email or FB Messenger.

 

[smiley]

been smart all my life don't need a phone to tell me that!!

 

[Naturally]

Found out a cell phone was cheaper than traditional home phone service.
Did the math and ditched my copper wire traditional phone account.
Gave myself about a $20 a month raise by just going with a cell phone.
Smart ... maybe

A "smartphone" is simply a small, portable computer with telephony capabilities. With computer technology being my hobby, I decided I'd better get cozy with a smartphone, which I converted to, after I retired.

 

[squatting dog]

Don't have... don't want.

 

[smiley]

know a few smart arses??

 

[Pepper]

Son/dil have provided me with IPhone since grandson was born 7.5 years ago so we could FaceTime. I have very generous kids.

I currently have IPhone 11. For the past months since hospitalization I use it as my computer.

 

[IKE]

DIL gave us a new IPhone 12 about three or four years ago and graciously pays the monthly bill with Verizon....mama only uses it to watch YouTube videos once in awhile and I bet I haven't spent twenty minutes messing around on it since we got it.

I have an Android smart phone, I keep it for emergency use. But if I want to use the internet, I have to be at home or use public WIFI like at Starbucks.
