[insert witty title about phones here]
« on: April 26, 2016, 03:21:23 PM »
I have an "old fashioned" flip cell phone. Not a smart phone. It can go online, but it's a painful and slow process, so I don't bother. I use it mostly for sending and receiving texts, and even then, I only get a couple per week. (Most of which are automatic notifications). It rarely rings and I rarely call anyone.

So I guess I don't use my cell phone all that much.  ^.^

However, I do have a tablet that I use for web browsing and video watching. If I had a smart phone, I'd probably be using it for those things, and I'd probably use the apps like crazy.

What's about you?  :) :phone:

I have an iPhone and I'm way too addicted to it... I use it for Facebook a lot and I play games on it, as well as texting... I guess I'm one of those people everyone says is awful for looking at my phone too much.  :lol: I do know how to put it away at dinner and movies and social settings though.  :P

My phone is quite old by current standards. It has a touch screen but it's definitely not smart. This is the best kind of phone in this area of London, where people are known to snatch smartphones out of people's hands...so yeah. But it's not the most up to date thing and it gave up with the internet 3 years ago.

I hate phones though. So as long as it texts and calls if I need it to, I'm fine. I don't need to be glued to it. Not that it's an issue if other people want to do that, but it does annoy me when they have them out in the theatre or cinema to go on facebook.

I use my phone for like...everything. I use it to listen to music in the car via the AUX cord (I pay for Spotify monthly), I use it to browse the web (I'm in between laptops right now), and well...pretty much everything else.

I also play games on it, mostly to keep busy during downtime at work.

I make calls and text on it, of course. I actually make more calls than you might think, but I honestly so prefer talking over texting. We also don't have a landline because that's kinda pointless anymore (especially considering I'm hardly at hone anyway), so having a cell phone is pretty necessary for me.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 that I've had for nearly two years now, so naturally it's already considered "old" because the S7 came out. I'm thinking I'll upgrade soon and let my husband have this phone. For the past several years, that's how its been. He refuses to upgrade, but it annoys me because he wants to be able to do all these things with his phone, so he ends up getting my old one when I upgrade. :lol:

Much like buttonso, I know how to put my phone down when I need to. I'm not really one of those people that's glued to their phone in social settings.

Ooh that's a tough one.. I think social media beats out Texting by just a little though, only a little mind you  :lol:

I avoid phone calls because the anxiety they give me (I never really get any anyway). I don't play too many games (Gameloft MLP, Picross, Godzilla smash, Moominvalley, and Puzzles & Dragons) and I don't play them enough to be addicted, not often music or videos because im in front of a computer all day for that, I text my boyfriend 24/7 but thats mainly it (not a big talker), I use it to check social media outside of home and I only browse the web if I'm not at my computer.

Mine tends to be a social crutch. I try to avoid using it when I'm with a lot of people but if I'm on my phone I'm likely looking something up, finding a funny photo to share, or it's because I'm really uncomfortable with the situation.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4 and I originally got it to use it's pen/tablet-like functionality. I have a few art apps on it, but I've gone back to using my old Intuos for drawing. Using the pen is very nice though.

I use it for a lot of stuff - I used to have a Droid, and on it I had the Gameloft MLP game. Got super into it, but when I switched phones, I lost all of my progress, got bummed,  and just have not felt like restarting. lol
I do use it for social media, I have a few game apps but don't use them a lot. I tried to use Tapatalk the other day just for this forum and it won't even load posts or notifications. Sometimes it says "forum administrator has disabled use for this app" or something, so I've just given up on it.  :( I really liked using it on my other phone though.

Social media (which is mostly a distraction for break at work/when I'm bored) , weather, and web browsing. I use it a lot for video watching/movies. Since I don't have a tablet, I basically use it for that when I can't get to my laptop (which is huge) , and texting and calling. It's how I stay in contact with family out of state and husband who leaves for weeks sometimes. I really enjoy my phone, but not the bill. xP

Not addicted to it, and I only use it in social meetings if I'm bored/want to look preoccupied.

I use mine for the Internet, texting and taking pictures. Oh and also for work! I much prefer texting to talking. I also much prefer texting to people sending me social media messages- I'm not sure why, but that annoys me- just text me!

The main use my phone has is take pictures and edit them  :biggrin: I have a Note 3 because I wanted a good Camera  :lol:

So I chose web and other apps ;) I also use Instagram on the phone, but the pics are more important.

I have a Droid and I get the newest one every time I am up to renew. I use it mainly to browse the net and keep track of my eBay auctions. I text a lot, too, but not as much as I used to.

I haven't had a phone for 3 or 4 years. Before that I just used my phone for texting and taking dumb pictures of my dogs, haha. I do use my boyfriend's tablet sort of like a phone, for web browsing and game apps. I use it to talk to people a little bit but not much.

I should finally be getting a new phone soon, my boyfriend's old iPhone. I'll mostly use it for texting/calling and business stuff (Etsy, Instagram, Pinterest). And probably snapchatting dumb photos of stuff to my friends xD

I have an iphone - mostly it's for texting (easiest way to keep in touch through the day, especially at work). And I use the calendar the most of any feature/app.

I have no cell phone right now. I washed it with my pants. Go me. I didn't have and don't want a smart phone. The only purpose for my cell is texting, a way for my daughter to get a hold of me if I'm not home, and long distance. I live right by the border and the next state over is long distance.

I have an iPhone 5S (hoping for an upgrade soonish.). I mainly use it for surfing the web/social media and texting though, at home, I'm more often on my iPad or laptop.  :)

While I didn't *need* the phone when I got it, it's been very useful at work (I don't often have access to a computer) and for meeting up with friends.  So, I'm rather attached to it now.  :)

I'm only ever on safari, notes, photos or messaging - I don't think I have a single app on my phone that isn't default and pre-added.
