How Much Do You Use Your Cell?

How much do you use your cell?  Just for calls?  To buy things?  Does it take the place of a computer?  Tablet? Calculator?

Just making and receiving calls, and some texting.  I don't watch tv or movies on it.

I check it for the time a lot and to see if I missed any calls or texts. 

 

I don't use it for calls for days at a time. 

 

When I'm travelling I use it much more for both although the cars have bluetooth which makes it easier.  I don't really like holding a cell phone --too small.

 

I hate using it for a *computer* because I need to admit to the fact that I should carry reader glasses with me at all times because it's getting tougher and tougher to read places like this.  Don't know how to enlarge they type here on my phone.  Only can enlarge texting.

I have IPhone and I use it for everything including maps.  My new car has the ability to sync all features. I didn't sync text or anything distracting while driving - for everyday use I either use my cell or iPad.

 

I remember when my son said it was time to upgrade my old flip phone...not me I don't want to have my head in a phone! Eating those words because I use it more than I thought it would. 😁🙈

 

From shopping, grocery lists, notes, calculator, emails, & the list keeps growing as they introduce new features...I'm counting the days til I get my IPhone 7😱-now that's scary!!!! Lol

I have a basic Tracfone, not a Smart Phone.  I keep it in my purse in case of an emergency.  Costs $20 every 3 months to add minutes and keep it activated.  Works for me.

It varies, but not a lot.  I mainly use it to text.
