Most memory? My emails are currently with time Warner with accounts that go back 30 years. I run two businesses out of email and phone currently, how do I make the switch?
I am not a fan of clouds.
What do you recommend?
Who would I get to set it up?
Not sure by your questions if you want another flip phone to replace your current flip phone.
We’re cruising next month and wanted to replace Hubby’s OLD LG flip phone with one that’s a world device. We’re with Verizon. They have five basic flip phones, which they call “basic”, but they really aren’t. Two are world devices. The LG Exalt is the one he chose and it’s a frickin’ mess — Android based. We were told that 4G will take over everything at the end of 2019, so anything that truly is basic never will be again.
There are zero cell phones that offer complete privacy. I use BlackBerries (no Hillary jokes please). I switch the SIM card between the Priv which is Android (hate) based, and the Classic on the BB OS (love). BBs are pretty good for privacy. In fact, the Verizon techs get frustrated when I call for help because BB won’t let them tap in and take over control of my phones. Verizon no longer sells BB.
We still have a landline, which I love. Cellular snooping passed “out of control” 5-10 years ago.
I don’t know if this helps in any way.
I really liked my Nokia Windows ‘phone, but those aren’t a thing anymore.
I am reasonably happy with my Motorola Moto E. It’s a few years old, but does the job just fine, and it’s 4G/LTE compatible.
I’d like a Marshall, but they were a flash in the pan.
I found the best bet to be the Samsung J7. Unlimited LOCAL memory (removable microSD cards). No Apple product can meet that, and most other current cellphones can’t either. Removable battery, when you don’t want it monitoring or tracking you. It does come loaded with Google and provider spyware, but all Droids do at this point, and most lack the removable battery for privacy.
Apple doesn’t sell you to third parties (FOR NOW), but that’s the only redeeming benefit of paying the Apple Tax. And they still want you to store almost everything on their servers. And you won’t find an iPhone with a user removable battery. Best bet for them is a heavy wrapping of aluminium foil.
On which phone company to select, you should ask around if you live in a sparse hilly area or even a dense urban area with tall buildings. I was at a family reunion a couple of years ago. Verizon users had to walk to the top of the hill to make a call. AT$T users were fine at the location.
I have Comcast email. If I ditch Comcast I can keep my email address with them. However, I believe I lose the ability to change my password after I leave them. Check Time Warner's policies if you decide to ditch them.
I enjoy my LG G7 ThinQ phone.
If you are worried about data privacy, and minimizing the risk anyone will exploit or break into your phone to steal your info, I wouldn't use anything except an iPhone. Apple doesn't base their business model on selling people's data, and they are *very* serious about making their phones as unhackable as possible. Plus they don't let carriers or other entities install *anything* on their phones.
It is worth noting that there are great custom OSes that can run on Android phones but they typically require a very high level of expertise to install and maintain.
Don’t ask me I have a flip phone.
There is no such thing as privacy.
