Unfortunately I had a death to deal with. My beloved Samsung Smiley cell phone decided to come down with the dreaded white screen disease and peacefully succumed in the middle of the night. Such a frustrating experience to try to get anything replaced in kind any more and often impossible. The model I had isn’t made any more and everyone wants to push a so-called Smart phone on buyers, Sales people look at you like you are daft when you say no thanks. Got tired of explaining that all I needed to do was to call some friends and family on occasion, use an easily accessible phone listing, text back and forth with my grandsons and wake up when the phone alarm goes off.

No, I don’t want GPS, a car charger, five star emergency service - because they care so much about my health and well being - and I’m not hearing or vision impaired. Finally gave up and purchased a Jitterbug Flip Phone at 50% off because of Black Friday sales. Now all I have to do is charge it, wait 72 hours and then go through the hassle of having my old phone number transferred to my new phone, replacing my new temporary number. Such a hassle. Enough to make an old person crabby! LOL.

Makes me wish I’d kept my old Nokia 1100 (first cell phone, 2007). It worked fine and I’m sure Tracfone would reactivate it for not a lot, and port in your number.

Gave it and my other old phones to Goodwill last year.
