How long have you had your phone for?

Just over two years for me. Previous one lasted about 3 years, in reality a bit less but I stuck with it until it just wouldn't charge anymore. Had to buy this one in Colombia which is frustrating at times because I can't download some apps based in the UK like my banks app. Probably a way to do it but I'm too lazy to figure it out.

Anyway, I think 2/3 is pretty standard? Unless if comes you're in the mentally of having to get a new one every time your favorite brand releases an update.

prolly later than sooner
twenty years of upgrading and "the next best thing" i'm gonna fetch what i need rather than what the rich man wants me to buy

I've been saying the same for a while but I do use WhatsApp and would miss it. We don't need a little computer in our pockets 24/7. He says from his phone.

An LG flip phone. Had it for about 4 years now. Second LG flip phone I’ve had AND I only got this one because in the winter as I was removing the snow from my driveway I must have dropped the old one and we’ll the snow blower “ate” it.😢. This one even has a SIM card. Not sure what that is but it’s got one.🤔

I have stopped using my phone and have started sending smoke signals instead.
Unfortunately folks have been sending me texts accusing me of causing global warming.

Had a hand-me-down Samsung s7 until I couldn't load the obligatory government app during Covid. Bought a Blade A51 for one-sixth the price of my husband's gee-whiz Samsung S20. There's only 3 unimportant things the Blade can't do and none of them bother me in the least. People who swallow the whole update nonsense are mugs.

I only replaced my last phone because I cracked the screen. As long as I can make calls, listen to music when I’m out walking and get google maps I’ll keep it until the battery wears out.

Then just recharge it🙂
I think my last phone got ate up by my riding lawnmower, it disappeared and doesn't seem to be anywhere in the lawn🙂
I called T Mobile and asked them to call it and see what they find and they said no good, it is giving an error code.
So they had a deal going on the Samsung 24 to replace my older 20.
Pretty much the same phone but the camera is wildly better.
