CALL ME

• Do you still have a land line?
  • I’d been using Vonage for some time until the fees which are essentially money grabs really irked me. And by this point more calls go to my Google Voice than anything. I can point it to whatever I wish. So when the cable company came around offering cheapo voip – I took it. Don’t use it other than when the cell service goes belly up for some reason.
    
• Which cell phone do you use and why?
  • It’s a Samsung SCH-R910 aka Indulge. It’s a couple years old but it has the extended battery which I really like.
    
• Which provider do you use? Is there really a difference?
  • MetroPCS which is essentially T-Mobile now. Which is kind of funny since my first cell phone was with OmniPoint which became VoiceStream then got bought by T-Mobile. Now T-Mobile bought MetroPCS. Which is odd because I still have a $54 credit with T-Mobile proper.
• If you call someone and they don’t pick up, do you leave a message?
  • Depends on if I really need to reach them.
    
• When you have a missed call (with no message), do you call the person back?
  • Yes I have.
    
• Do you txt willingly or reluctantly? How are your skills?
  • I love Swype and voice type. So yeah, big on texting.
    
• Has your cell replaced your camera?
  • Yes it has.  Photos still get uploaded to Flickr and Facebook.
• Selfies….
  • Not really big on them for some reason.
    
• How many apps do you have? Which is your favorite and why?
  • I’ve got a ton of apps on the phone. Just counted – 75 apps
  • Favorites are the Bar Code Scanner, DuoLingo, WordPress, Google Authenticator, EchoLink, Zipcar and ElectroDroid.
• What would life be like with no cell/smart phone for one month?
  • Very strange. I’ve come to depend on the networking and features of the phone.
    

BONUS

• hookup apps
  • None.
