I too have a flip phone - it’s in my purse and stays there if I need help when I leave the house for groceries or run errands. I need it to call when power is out - which happens often. My husband is on 24/7 oxygen (concentrator) and it can get pretty dicey when that happens. Texting - nope - I don’t even run (ha ha) to pick up the house phone - they can always leave a message.
I guess people must lead more interesting lives than I do when they can’t take a walk without a phone in their hand or shop without it.
Ya aint it amazing to go into a restaurant and watch whole families sitting at tables with their faces plastered to their smart phones?
And not one of them talking to each other.
