My previous phone was an old Ericksson that is for voice call and texting only because it's not a smart phone. Someone gifted me with a Samsung S3 as a corporate giveaway 2 years ago. I was awed with the function because it was surprising for me to check my email on that phone. Much more, I could surf the internet. Gee, that's a great phone indeed. Until now, that Samsung remains to be my phone although I am planning to buy a newer model... but still a Samsung.
Corie, that's a heck of a gift! LOL My phone would be an embarrassment to me, if I was inclined to be embarrassed by stuff like that. LOL I use a little cheap Tracphone that I buy a card for every month or so. My young friends joke that my phone is older than they are, and I just laugh and remind them that I don't have a high monthly phone bill!
