We have AT&T I think the agreement we signed did say that the service could be slowed down when there is high usage but it hasn't happened in the year we have had it. There is the possibility of that happening though. We did it because we cannot get descent internet service out here.

Better keep it. We don't have that opportunity. Great deal for you

Like many oldsters, we rely on our daughter for cell phone service. I used whatever phone she comes up with and hands me, about every other year. The current one is a Motorola Droid Max

I'm not much of a phone fan. Audio use is out or just an enormous hearing frustration. Texting with these digitS' is difficult although I'm better than a year ago. I use a stylus. (And use one on this 7" tablet; the 10" is big enuf for my digitS' but using a stylus isn't so bad ... on a larger 7" screen!)

Access to the internet is helpful when I'm out and about, at times. Still, I'm only using it while sitting in a waiting room or wherever, and using wireless. DD & DSIL nearly always overuse the mobile data and pay an extra $15. Millennials, they take it without comment but I'm not using mobile data for any more than text.

The phone is a cheap one, without many bells and whistles but ... how would I know? It's only because of DD's comments. She has an iPhone. I'm satisfied that mine does more than the slide but that Samsung was tiny (without the screen) and so easy to carry. No need to bother with a camera strapped to my belt, tho. If'n I'm inspired to take and share a picture.

Social connectivity! I enjoy having that easier-to-share image. Yes, the Droid Maxx does seem every bit as good or better than the snapshot camera. That's a plus.

Good Luck I am sticking with my Dinosaur phone until it is phased out and I am forced to make a change.

Carol I have no choice all of a sudden my flip phones working less and less

 

[seedcorn]

You will be happy for the change once you get used to it. See thistles' post. She isn't upset. She used to make fun of us. Now she is one of us.

Not to contradict @seedcorn .

But, if you really, really want to stay with the flip - there are replacements.

Even in my life of "retirement choices" and using a stylus, there are all sorts of times when I don't want to touch the smart phone. Use in some occupations just doesn't make much sense.

Steve I dont think its the phone I think its the service. Every time I had to replace my flip phone salesperson would look at me strange and say I don't know if we any in stockroom.

If it helps any we are with U.S. Cellular. We got reception and made calls from the top of Pikes Peak and that was about 15 years ago!
