And that's good enough for me! (until I run it through the washing machine with an extra rinse...boo ...which is why my phone is new.)<br />OTOH, I have given up my land line and rely solely on my cell. Oh, yeah, this phone actually has a calendar where I can store appts and can remind me of same. That's good. And it does have a camera, but I don't know how I'd transfer pictures to my computer, so I haven't even tried it.Gailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00718166611471626534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-19882819986802967172014-07-11T14:22:12.696-04:002014-07-11T14:22:12.696-04:00Your phone is more super spiffy than mine!

It's almost like you are from Star Trek: The Next Generation while I'm still stuck back with the first series. Neither one is bad, but one has slightly better technology (and the bonus of a Captain who is a Shakespearean actor).

The Amish actually have a good point- we, like they, choose what technology we spend our resources on (and that's time as well as money).

I'm still investigating how to hack it so it will work on Page plus, the only other company I can find that uses Verizon's cell towers and technology. <br /><br />Even if I don't activate it, I can still use it on my home wireless to get on facebook, watch movies on netflix, etc. I could install the app that would allow me to make voice over internet protocol phone call with any wireless I can connect to? The kids are enjoying streaming netflix to it as they walk around the house. ;)mommeeof10https://www.blogger.com/profile/03611832953435781430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29186394.post-36697409795702691302014-07-10T19:37:53.931-04:002014-07-10T19:37:53.931-04:00Well ... it's not like it has a dial or is att...Well ... it's not like it has a dial or is attached to the wall by a cord.
