    I am going to buy fax/scanner/printer at the little computer store i go to. Nowadays, you can pick up a nice one for around $60-70.00. Will it be pretty easy to configure and hook up? Luckily, Shen at computer shop in very patient! :)

    I am old school brother. My wife and I are going to the AT&T store to replace our old 2G phones right now! Damn it, now i have to learn how to use a new phone! He he Plus, i like my little 2g phone, it is tiny, and fits in my pocket. Now i'm going to be stuck with a big old smart phone that won't easily fit in my pocket!

    Have a good one! :smile:

    Are you tied to AT&T? I replaced my $20 flip phone from Dollar General with a $34 smart phone from Family Dollar. Both work fine.

    You can still get cheap flip phones.

    I just buy the the pre-paid minutes from AT&T, no contract. It's a go phone. I could have gotten either a free flip phone, or a free smart phone because the 2G phones are no longer compatible with their network. But then, they said we could choose from some other better phones and they would give us $50.00 off. We selected a smart phone from the $50.00 off section, and we ended up only paying a $20.00 difference for each phone! The receipt said we saved $100.00 each.

    My dad just gets flip phones from wherever, and his phone is built like a tank! I like them because they are small. I might have been tempted to get a flip phone, but my wife said "No!". I can do a lot of stuff with this new smart phone, especially if i am in a area that has wifi. The good thing is the new smart phone fits in my jeans pocket! Now i just have to learn all the new features!

    I am going to go online and get a phone case. At&T has them, but their accessories are very expensive!

    I have my first cell phone - a flip phone my son gave me as a gift, about 8-9 years ago. I buy time for it - $25 every 2 months. I have to buy that (or $15 every month or $100 once a year) or else the time will expire. Right now I have over $180 on it, just from buying the minimum to keep it alive. Don't know when (if ever) I'll get to use it up...

    I'll just keep going this way, unless/until it breaks and I have to get something else. Don't like the thought of that...

    That's the way to go! Why pay for a contract if you hardly ever use the phone? Don't worry Johann, they still make flip phones! I like them because they are solid, and easily fit in your pocket. My dad is happier than hell with his flip phone (go phone pre paid minutes). They are indestructible.
