[insert witty title about phones here]

[Ponyfan]

I use mine for texting, playing apps/games and making calls although I don't call people that often. I run my battery down a lot playing with the apps/games. I only got a smartphone for the first time last summer and I love it.  I do also use it to check Facebook and browse the Internet some.

I use my phone a lot - generally people my age don't really text too much anymore, when you can use the direct messages on instagram or free texting apps. I'm not on pay-as-you-go, but a lot of my friends are, so messaging them through apps is a lot easier. I don't call people if I can avoid it, and I'm not too fond of texting either. Generally I use social media - having a smartphone makes it a lot easier to do stuff like that.

Mine is old-fashioned so I basically only use it for texting and calling (I prefer texting though), as well as keeping track of time (I was never a wrist watch person). Plus the alarm feature of course. It has some sort of internet access thing which I've never used and a crappy camera that takes tiny photos. I've been thinking of upgrading soon, it's getting old - obviously - and the keys are startiing to fall off and whatnot, but I hate the idea of all the research I need to do because I know nothing about smart phones and their features. Ugh. I do want a smart phone though because having an internet access on the go would be super handy (+ maps, GPS etc.) but I don't think I really need one. At least my current phone has the benefit of long battery life compared to smart phones, I can go days, even a week without recharging if I don't do phone calls.

Cell phone? What cell phone?

I haven't had a cell phone in 7 years.

I bought my first smart phone for the map app... I get lost easily.

[Bibinettepony]

only calls and very very rare texts (i HATE to tape text on telephone!!) . I got no smartphone but a very old and simplified cellphone

I got a smartphone for Christmas and love it.  I wanted one so I could take and receive photos (especially receive pics of my 2 year old niece! so much joy in those pixels!  )  I mostly use it for calls and texts.  I'm too paranoid to do banking on my phone, most of my internet use is on my laptop.  Prior to the smartphone I had an old one that lasted for 9 years and was still working.

I too have an old style flip phone! Mine doesn't have internet capability so mostly its calls and texts. Because I live in the backwater swamps I rarely have signal either so mostly I use my phone for telling time

[ladybastilla]

Mine mainly gets used for taking swap pictures and as an alarm clock. Occasionally I use it to skype my bf. that's about it.

Hah, I have a smartphone, but I primarily use it as a PHONE -- for making calls and texting! Yes, I do use it to shop online and stuff, but I don't walk around looking at my phone and running into people on the sidewalk because I'm not paying attention. And don't even get me started on phone games. Games are meant to be played on consoles or computers -- not phones. *waves cane and yells at kids to get off my lawn*

[invaderhorizongreen]

I do not have one, and see no need for a smart one, I just want a phone to call with.

I mainly use mine for checking facebook, which I also use the messenger app a lot of the time. I don't get great cell phone reception at my apartment, so it's nice being able to use wifi to get messages out, so my gf and I mainly "text" each other on the fb messenger app. I also use it for instagram a lot, and I pretty much only check my email on my phone. I also do a fair bit of texting, and call my mom a few times a week lol

I'm not sure whether Tumblr counts as social media or other web browsing. But mostly Tumblr! 

But also for tracking bus times and for maps.  There's a citywide app that tracks the buses in real-time, which is great because their times don't match the printed schedules.   I have a terrible sense of direction, but between Google Maps and the bus app, my smartphone has made me more confident about going to new places.

There wasn't an option for playing games and surfing the web, so I just picked games.

[kiwimlp]

I message, play games and ring people - in that order
