I will say it is good for scheduling appointments etc and, as my wife has health issues, it does make it easier for me to be able to leave her at home sometimes but know she can reach me or I her at any time.<br /><br />I worked in the north when phones were just getting popular. We had a fire and some extra staff were flown up to help out. First thing off the plane they pulled their phones out and tried to find a signal. I told them to just pack them away as the nearest cell tower was about 500km. There was a definite split between looks of panic from some and relief from others.chichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01078504537289864840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15663150.post-79208408704704279402023-05-10T12:33:38.949-04:002023-05-10T12:33:38.949-04:00???

The GPS service is great for finding a place I've never been before, but I don't need it for any trip after the first time. My youngest uses it every day to get anywhere. I also enjoy carrying pictures of my grandson to church. But otherwise, I just use it as a phone. A year later, I still haven't set it up to access an internet browser. Oh yeah, and I can answer a text now.

But it will probably have to wait until my friends retire, too. About 2100 days to go for me.BSBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11940608409342515457noreply@blogger.com
