How important to you is your phone?

[Jules]

It‘s very important. About the only thing I don’t use it for much is phone calls. That’s just because I don‘t talk on the phone much. We‘re trying to change over totally from landline to using our mobile number. The cell phone has better sound.

I probably use it 3 hours a day just for podcasts or the radio. My shopping list is on it. When I go to the cashier, I scan my loyalty card. It’s a GPS. It’s my fitness tracker. A reading source while waiting for an appointment. Etc, etc, etc.

Very important to me.

Essential. I have no landline. I do more computing on my cell than on my laptop.

I'll occasionally forget it at home and I spend the time convinced that the world is going to end and I won't be able to call someone and tell them about it....LOL.

Yep, I'm a cellphone addict.

Still on land line.
Once we had one when hubby was working some distance away.
We kept it for awhile after he retired & for some forgotten reason we didn't keep it.

We talk about getting one,,, then notice how everyone is attached to theirs.
Think who is going to call us when we are away from the house?
So far the answering device works for us ,, getting missed calls.

IF we are traveling ,, there is a GPS in the car to help us get lost.

I use mine more often as a portable computer than a phone, mainly for:

• Reading books on a the Kindle app
• Reading PDFs that I downloaded
• Camera
• Calculator while I'm designing stuff to build
• Reading email
• Controlling the Roku box
• Listening to audiobooks
• Checking the weather
• Maps and directions
• Displaying barcodes when I'm returning an item to FedEx
• Clock (I don't wear a watch)
• Browsing the Internet when I'm not on my PC
• Occasionally casting something to the TV via the Roku box
• Reading the news when I'm out, which is especially handy when I'm waiting to see a doctor or to pick up a prescription.
• Listening to podcasts
• Guitar tuner
• A few other things that I can't think of off hand.

Most of the calls I get are spam.

On your mobile phone?

On your mobile phone?

I do similar on my phone. I use it for everything; I don't have a PC or laptop. I even host a live online game on my phone.

Yes

I use my cellphone for mobile and app based services. When at home I tend to use one of my laptops or desktops for web activity. Dislike talking on the cell or landline phones, just because I don't like phone conversation. I would get rid of the landline but DW loves it.

 

[Verisure]

Yes

I'm sorry. I ought to have been specific ....

...... Most of the calls I get are spam.

... on your mobile telephone

My smartphone is my connection to everything, my vital link especially in these isolating times we live in due to covid.
