It can give me directions, show me how to install or repair things, route me around traffic, alert me to news and weather events, and provide me with something to read, watch, or listen to while I'm stuck waiting - in line, in traffic, at the doctor's office.

I was too cheap to pay the big bucks for the monthly access, until this past spring when Google rolled out Project Fi.

Do NOT do any of this on unsecured wifi unless you place ZERO value on your phone's data. At the minimum, get a robust security app! |

Thank you for an intelligent answer without name calling. I don't disagree with you either. I can see the appeal of a "new toy" and having lots of fun with it. I'm sure I'll do the same when I get one. As I mentioned in another post, all I've had is a simple flip-phone with voice only. It was also handy just for current time, calendar, calculator, etc. I used what it offered but voice phone was my only necessity. Also, since I work construction, a fold up phone is much smaller and more protected to carry in my pocket. I've been without any cell phone for about 2 weeks now as the company sold out to Sprint and discontinued my access. It's a bit annoying as I'm used to having something. I'll be looking for a new deal and will probably start out with a cheap smart phone without a contract to start with. I won't buy into some great deal until I see what it's like. I'm in no big hurry so I can take the time to look around and see whats what. I know very little about them now. |

Just because you have a smart phone doesn't mean you have to indulge in all this foolishness. I've had one pretty much since they arrived on the scene and I still do what I always did with a mobile phone, receive/take phone calls and text. Text is often very useful to me. |

When I was working I worked a deal with my co-workers that got me a van with a mobile terminal and hard wired cell phone along with a built in desk and photo copier. Later on they decided to issue cell phones to everyone. I did not get a one of the cell phones because I already had the one that was hard wired into the vehicle. Then the co-workers encouraged me to push for a cell phone. No thanks. The boss was able to call all the other guys any time he wanted, even on their coffee breaks because they were supposed to carry them at all times. If I went for lunch or coffee the phone was in the van. If I was working, the cell was in the van. That hard wired phone was there for my convenience, not theirs, and I rarely used it. |

I think that's the one that never made it in the local market so shut down. Sprint made an offer for folks to swap to them for a reduced fee. Here's the catch-22 of the local places. Some have unlimited data and not such a hot calling plan and higher monthly fees. Others have limited data (Verizon) and lower monthly cost but you pay a lot if you go over your metered data plan. We use verizon and have our phones set to use hotspot (wifi) and not update or use bandwidth when not in a hotspot. Whatever phone you do get, if it's a smartphone, make sure you can set it to that or it can be costly. Me, I just have mine and Charlotte's set to not use much data and we don't over run a 3GB allotment. My plan carries 3 smartphones, 1 flip phone, and a tablet. 249$ a month. Thats a family plan so each unit costs less. I do not know what a single phone costs with them here. You actually pay more for the flip phones now BTW but my husband wants that for as long as you can get them. Next time when it dies, he gets a smartphone and my bill will drop about 25$ a month ;-) A good place to shop around is Lynnhaven Mall because they have all the major carriers (and no, the plan costs the same even if it is at a mall). Explain the construction work as some types are more rugged and some come with a protective face plate. You may find it more effective to try one of the 'no contract' (buy cards to load) sorts for the start just to try the smartphones out? I know Harris Teeter has them and I think most drug stores. Another thing to consider well is cell tower coverage but that was the same with your flip phone. The one that went under locally, had terrible coverage here (part of why they went under). Now, not to start a huge debate, each area is DIFFERENT in which company covers best with minimal dead zones. So this next probably will not be true of other parts of the country. In Hampton Roads, the best coverage is with Verizon. In my case, coverage was the most important issue. It might be for you as well due to construction work but you got by ok with the crappy one so you may be suprised as you upgrade to a more locally prolific set, how seldom you will ever hit a dead zone. I'll shoot you an email with some local resources to find pricing plans from others who were also with that company here in Hampton Roads. Carol -- |

Why does your tablet need a special plan when all it really needs is wifi? How much do you use the flip phone? It can be on a minimal $75 a year plan if it's off most of the time. How much do you really yak on the phone? I text more than I talk - my $30 4G LTE Page Plus plan gives me 1500 talk minutes, unlimited text and 1GB of data. Gary: Checkout Motorola Moto G. Hubby bought one for $100 via Selectel and he's starting off with their $15 a month plan. Selectel and Page Plus are Verizon MVNOs (CDMA) so switching is easy. -- sf |

They got better at kicking up a keyboard interfact now so it's not a problem. Texting for me is to Charlotte when she's in class so she knows when I will get there to pick her up. No, not texting and driving, just a fast one before i head over. It's not a major feature. My guilty secret is being able to play a fast hand of solitare when on break. ;-) Carol -- |

Who would have thought > you're a liberal? You reminded me of something when I was a kid. My best friend lived in a house that had a great hill for sledding in the winter. But, they had a dog and ran a wire with the dog lead attached to it so it had more area to run when tethered outside. To sled down the hill you had to go under the wire and since most people were sledding on their stomach, head first, non-issue. I started sledding before I was ready and was sitting, saw the wire, ducked, and swerved over blindly to where they had a tall retaining wall to keep rain water from running down the hill straight to the house. I somehow jumped the retaining wall and lived. LOL -- ღ.¸¸.œ«*¨`*œ¶ Cheryl |

I remember all of the research I did on it, because I was like WTF is a data plan? I also didn't get why cell phones were tied to providers rather than pick your phone and then your provider like you do a home phone, but that part isn't unlike what I had for years, tracfone. You had to have a tracfone phone to use their service. -- ღ.¸¸.œ«*¨`*œ¶ Cheryl |

Your grocery list on the phone can be hacked. That can be cause for serious problems. The bad guys can copy you list and send it to your neighbors. They will find out you are buying Pop Tarts. Even worse, they can modify the list and add things like ice cream or steak and beer. |
