New Phones

[craig]

Immix is GSM 1900 with EDGE, according to their website. If all you want is a phone, I have a Nokia 6103b you can have - used by a little old lady and with less than 50 minutes use on it in over four years, so the battery is still good. Has Bluetooth and a basic camera.

Iphone's are not for everyone.
Some of us only use a phone to make phone calls and thats about it, so a Iphone is a waste.

I'm one of those.

My work cell was replace a couple weeks ago. The old one was like 3 years old and started having issues. That was a Motorola flip style phone that would still have all but one "signal strength" bar when all the iPhones didn't have any.

The new phone I just got is a Samsung Rugby II flip phone. It's built extra tough, which I need because my phones get abused a lot.

I refuse to text. Whenever someone texts me, which isn't often, I simply call them back.

What does this mean? Does it mean even if I get a 3G or 4G phone, I could never get the speed out of it due to IMMIX's network?

Also, I saw mention that an iPhone will pick up wifi @ the house (or wherever) Does that work for Android?

(Yes, I'm still procrastinating the phone situation...)

Yes, your phone will only work as quickly as the network allows. When I'm out and about my phone will switch between 3G and 4G depending on the towers wherever I am.

Also, I saw mention that an iPhone will pick up wifi @ the house (or wherever) Does that work for Android?

Yes. My android phone is actually an WiFi hotspot. Meaning, when my wife and I are driving somewhere, she can use my phone as an WiFi hotspot for her iPad allowing her full access to the internet. And, if I'm in an WiFi hotspot I can use it instead of my cell connection if I so choose.

An update on this thread.

I know it's a bit out of date, but I scored an unlocked iphone 4 for 60 bucks from a buddy. This is wife's main Xmas present. I will have to take her SIM card, and attempt to cut it to a micro SIM. It should work, but fingers crossed for this Xmas eve work. I'm going to slip it in her stocking, and call it the next morning after the initial wave of presents.

That should score you some points!

[kingbeefy]

Good idea, but if you really want to score some points, you should give me the number and let me call it. I can talk in my Brent Honcho voice.

Just let me know. Thanks.

Ah, uh..ummm lemme think about it.

I was not an Apple fan - until I won an iPad 2. I really got to like that thing.

When the new iPhone 5s came out - Verizon dumped their stock of iPhone 5's for $99. That lasted about 2 weeks. I immediately ran out and got one for me, and one for momma. Best thing I've ever done with a smartphone. And I was very lucky - had a couple of folks who really wanted our Droid Razr's - covered our upgrade! (Timing is everything!)

Yep - Will - you will be her hero! The only problem will be - it's a 3G phone. No doubt she will be wanting the iPhone 5 upgrade shortly when it's sometimes slow. It's a slippery slope you're on...

Oh, you don't have to tell me. Of course, this thing will be like 50computeryears newer than her current flip phone brick.

LOL. Prior to the Droid Razr upgrade, momma and I had "50computeryears" phones. We could not even donate them they were so old (....although I hear some telephone museum picked them up for .10 each at a Salvation Army store and they're one of the leading attractions...)

Now it's gotten to the point, though, that momma has recognized the smartphone can do more than just make calls. But there is no going back - momma won't have any part of that...

Right after your post this morning there was a great commercial for a local pawn shop - a young lady opens a package and finds an iPhone. I wish I could find it and post it - I imagined it to be representative of what your house will look like when she finds it...

[badwhale]

Oooo I cut her card down and it works! I'm so excited.

I want to go burn one now in celebration, but it's almost 1, and I better just pack it in because the little one patted me on the arm tonight at bedtime AFTER I thought she was asleep and said "I'll get you up tomorrow, as soon as there's light in the room"
