Be that as it may.

But I will tell them why I’m canceling my membership.

I don’t have a smart phone and will not spend that kind of money to own one for a few bucks of savings at the cash register.

I don’t WANT a smartphone. I want something only to call and text. Any computer time I get in is at home.

I’ve got a few cheap ones - 2 I wish I hadn’t bought

Two are alive (including the one I wish I hadn’t bought - I resurrected it after transferring it to another phone - which I intend to do - I’ve had another new phone sitting in the box for 2-3 years - I just want to move a game over)

I have a 3rd one that would be alive - it did a hard crash (software only) and cannot boot - it has stuff I don’t want to lose or I’d do a factory reset)

All of these phones are TracFone - No phone cost more than $40-$45 (I was working then)

One costs me $20 a month though if I was working I could buy a year of service and pay about 30% less (I think) - with TracFone’s new monthly card I have just over 48 gig of data - I almost always use the WiFi so I rarely use up my data - each month comes with an additional 4 gig

The other costs $20 ever 3 months - that’s my backup where one of my games is

I have the Walmart app, a local grocery store and an Amazon - which I don’t use the Amazon as much since I’m not working at the moment - hope to get that fixed - very frustrating these days - sigh

I'm with you. Personally, I think "smart" phones are stupid.

And just TRY to find a non-smart TV anywhere in your area. Some places may, but they're very few. Amazon does, however, so I bought one from them. I admit that I like watching the old retro shows, and that's ALL that I want a TV for.
