I'm not even sure my cell phone is a "smartphone". I only send texts to my older brother, because he sent me texts first.
LGA340 Is that a smartphone ?

(31,518 posts)to fit in any pocket and I never butt dialed anyone. Then the kids started up with "Mom, you need a new phone so it's easier for you to send a text", so I got a new phone. It is nice being able to check email and websites from my phone, but now the kids never call me, they just send short texts. Whadda ya gonna do?

(6,261 posts)I was uncool when being uncool wasn't cool....
I cancelled my data plan last year. Prepaid voice & text only. Should have done it years ago. What a waste of money and time.

But, my attitude is: I have a cell phone for my convenience.
Texting allows constant contact with everyone. Being an introverted recluse, I don't like that.
(I only play an extrovert on DU!)
But, yeah, I'm seriously uncool.
I write fanfic and, as stated above, "have all the feels".
In addition: I'm not on Facebook or any other social media site other than DU. Another thing that drives my f & f crazy.

First Speaker
(4,858 posts)...I don't even know how to use one. Does that make me hopelessly uncool...or, just possibly, totally supercool? I suspect the former, but hope it's the latter...

(22,845 posts)I only use my cell phone for phone calls, and even then I use it only when we're on vacation or need to find each other someplace. The rest of the time it's turned off.
PS _ I know what a text is but have no idea how to do one.

(37,457 posts)until my brother texted me first, I had no idea either.
I learned how to do DU today with my semi-dumb flip phone, I was proud of myself.
