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
How much has your cell phone become a part of your sex life?
Occasional photo exchanges with my SO.
Sexting
Not really – I prefer the real thing.
hookup apps
None.
selfies
Hardly any.
video
Yes of course, but not what you think. Instead I get politicians on video making idiotic statements. It’s more fun that way.
