Mine is revealing that it’s about 20m from the nearest town with any meaningful number of businesses. That is, when it’s not dead from non use over the course of a month or longer. It’s at least that long between uses. I don’t always remember to keep it charged.

I have a close friend here who has appointed herself to watch over me since I live alone. My number is on her “family watch” program (the name is something like that), and if I leave my house with my cell phone on, she can go to that program on her computer and see where I am based on communication with my phone to the nearest cell tower. Her kids are on there, too, so she knows the vicinity where her kids are.

I don't care if she knows where I am and it makes her feel better knowing she can find me. Her phone number is on my 911 gadget I have that I can activate anywhere in my house to automatically call 911. It calls 911 and then calls her.

While all that technology is available now, that is a good thing, however, Hussein's “spys” could find me, too. A pox on Hussein.

It’s been at 3-4 years since my cheapie non-smart one was used. It’s just there for emergencies. A $7/mo insurance. I just don’t see people’s need for a smart phone with all the lasted bells and whistles.
