Chances are if you had started with the tracfone, you would still have that cheaper phone than the one you started out with. I don't know how, or why that always happens (sorta like your 360 degree reflection), but the nice phones always fall, or fail. The one phone you wouldn't miss too much always sticks around....maybe for beautiful stories such as this one.

I lost everything but managed to keep the phone through generosity of others.

I had that phone for at least a decade.

It did nothing but ring and keep messages.

My daughter sent me a new one a few years ago. I guess it messages and advertisements come on it with no warning. You still have to open it up for chrissakes and I checked the other day and I regularly get messaging that I never have responded to. I mean all the messages are ads.

I am on my daughter's family plan and they recently got my son to join in. He received--for free--something that looks like an IPOD and he is fingering it like it is a new girl friend (oops, I think that is pornographic or something)

I just watched some doc where kids who are 3 or 4 years old work these new phones with no cover with their fingers and find whole universes out there.

Why would anyone wish to watch a movie on a little phone?

Oh well.

It was hard for me to throw that old phone away from the 90's.

You dialed and received messages (oral) and you reached your destination.

Phones are phones no longer. They are tiny computers for young people with good vision.

Congratulations, Dr. And

Nice story. I recently got a new phone, too. For my morning swims in the summer, I got in the habit of throwing some shorts over my jammers, and instead of changing in the locker room, just taking off my shorts, shirt and sandals at the edge of the pool. Unfortunately one morning, my shorts caught on one foot, and my flip phone catapulted out of the pocket, bounced twice and dove into the water. It was amazing that with 360 degrees around me, the phone took the direct angle to the pool.

I dried the phone in the sun, then in rice, but the buttons never worked right again, so now I have this iPhone wannabe from Tracfone.

Congratulations and many long
