I have an ENV3 cell phone. I love it as antiquated as it is. However I find I can no longer send picutres to my friends with smartphones and they sometimes cannot send me texts. Sometimes their texts come through as letter trains of squares.
Is this normal between phones as the technology improves or do I need a new ENV3?
I really like the level of tech I have with my current phone.
I really like to text the kids.
I like to occasionally like to send a picture out.
And nothing beats this technology for actually being able to hear a conversation and hold a battery charge.
So techies? Is it a broken phone or is it that chickensoup is being left way behind in the technology upgrades and verizon wants me to upgrade by not letting me communicate with my friends. Not that I am paranoid or anything...

Translation of the squares: E.T. phone home.

The Devil made me do it. It’s Saturday and I’m insane. I apologize.
You’re Fukt!
I think your LIKE button is stuck.
I thought it might be your fault.
I wish.
There is no like button on my phone. It is a steam-powered cell phone.
Chickensoup knows when her wing is being pulled.
There are several phones that will do what you want. Depending on your carrier you can buy one for about $50. I got a Go Phone when I damaged my fancy phone. I get text, take and send pictures and get my e-mail.
Not a techie here but often if you remove the battery, wait a bit, then reinsert it, many problems clear up. Good luck.
Logged into my cell phone? of course. It is a cell phone. It is not a smart phone.

Is there a setting to change the language? Little squares is what I see on some chinese websites in place of the chinees character set that I don’t have on my computer.
This is not a fancy phone.
Yes it’s weird. I’ve seen the same thing on close captioned TV.
They’re listening IN.
I have taken out the battery.
I guess bottom line are not fancy phones like mine, becomeing increasingly unable to communicate with the new generations of phones. My phone is five year old technology.
Neither is mine. My fancy phone got wet so I bought a cheap replacement. $50. No contract.
