Apparently, there is a big demand for newer and still simple flip phones for those of us with a life beyond our cell phones.
I’m waiting for one that is 5 G, takes a simple picture when wanted and enables me to text and receive texts from adult children and grandkids and friends and repulses/reverses any attempt to con or sell me/us something.
Lock it with maybe a dozen apps. Let it be able to send a 1 or 2 page letter whatever to a simple printer. Or bring back faxes for our one simple phone line as noted below.
Then, keep one separate and simple land line phone to talk to relatives and friends. My wife’s surviving relatives have started doing that, and once a week they call her live on a real phone line. Use call blockers and No More Robo Calls on the sob’s who call and waster our time with B$. Then, get laws passed to charge/fine these bastards with trespassing when they call us to sell us crap, unsolicited.
My iPhone works as an iPod. Pain in the butt. Wanted to buy a separate MP3 player. They’re trying very hard to do something. You tell me what it is.
I was given a used Samsung S6 3 years ago, which I did not activate (not worth the $) but I could connect to via our wireless and make calls via free Google voice (which carries about as far as our cordless land lines - the only service we have!) and used its camera.
A few months ago I turned on "do not disturb" mode on my android phone. The only calls that ring are from people on my contacts list. All the rest can leave a message. Robo callers generally dont leave messages, and I can delete the ones who do.
