The two other cars and 2 of the trucks are over 45 years old, and the other two are diesels. Mentioned we had to do $4500 repair on ours I was mistaken. Wife said that was two different things. One was like 2200 water pump and then they went ahead and changed something else while they had it apart after checking with her and the other one was 90 K service. Made more sense to me.

BOBWhite Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 I have a 13 Mini and before that I had a 5 that I used for 8 years. I might downgrade to a flip once this 13 is wore out because it doesn't look like they'll be making anymore small phones. I'm the young skinny guy and I have to do all the crawling around under stuff so a small phone is a must. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
70mackMB Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 The flip phone l wanted to keep would fit in a pack of regular cigarettes. But we had to move on to a newer larger one. 122 PDF pages of instructions with the new one! Four phones in the house, a princes and three rotaries. .....Hippy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post tjc transport Posted April 26 Popular Post Share Posted April 26 i tried explaining to verizon wireless that i work in secure facilities where no cameras or computers are allowed, and their answer was sorry we no longer offer plain phones. only stupid phones (as i call them) i see they now offer a phone only again. guess too many people complained 3 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Most at Verizon had never heard of the model, said it didn't exist, but I pushed until I found someone who did know and get what I wanted. They want to sell what they stock, not what you want. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted April 26 Share Posted April 26 it was a few years ago. they did not sell any flip phones at the time. i had to stick with verizon as they were the only cell carrier that had service in some of the areas i worked. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Freightrain Posted Monday at 11:51 AM Share Posted Monday at 11:51 AM I know Verizon has flip phones now because friend has one. He can't use anything else. He was trying to use an old analog version until they finally sent him a new phone. I can text him information but he won't reply. My newest android kinda sucks. My older ones were better but maybe because it doesn't have all this crap to make it worse? Ya, autocorrect sucks!!! I'm fighting to just type this and have to say what I typed.

tjc transport Posted Monday at 01:15 PM Share Posted Monday at 01:15 PM Larry, i found the old flippy fones were 2 or 3G at best. that is why they work so good. the now stupid fones are 4 and 5 g. and the more "G"'s the make them seems the sheitier they are, and yes i know they now offer flippers again. but my new job requires that i keep the stupid fone.

mowerman Posted Monday at 06:43 PM Share Posted Monday at 06:43 PM I had an android Motorola was my first smart phone. I think . That thing worked a lot better especially with the voice text. Latest iPhone cost me close to $1000 and I really don’t think it’s worth a shit iPhone 15. I think my 8 plus actually works better. I only upgraded because I was starting to have trouble with the touchscreen. I thought OK well I’m still making good money. I might as well get rid of the old one. Also big Verizon is a big rip off. They don’t even give me any discounts or freebies anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
