I refuse to carry a phone smarter than I am.
Mine makes and takes calls. It can also do something called texting, but I never understand what it’s saying.
Sprint is deepsixing the iDen network and charging the users of iDen a premium for less service on their “new and improved” direct connect.
My choices were somewhat limited on phones, so I grabbed one that does more than talk.
It’s waterproof to a reasonable degree.
