great post.
i'm an old geezer.... my cell has the same ring it had when i bought it.
i dont want to watch vids on my phone, i dont want to read my phone (texting).. hell, most times.... I DONT WANT TO TALK ON MY PHONE.
my main objective in life is to live a very long life.... and be the only person in the western world who has never sent nor received a "text" message.
Too late!
You're not the only one who never has text messaged, etc.
I use my phone for conversation and that's all!
I have the ability to access the web on my phone, text message and I choose not to do so.
If something important has to be said, I will call a person, NOT get charged extra to text message them. Nor will I spend a connection charge on top of getting charged per minute for using the internet option on my phone. Yes, my carrier charges per minutes usuage and a connection fee.
And I am with you, I actually HATE talking on the phone. Mine is used for work and emergencies.
As for the ringtones, I get free ringtones at one per month from my carrier that are automatically loaded into my phone. I do not get charged for them and it's an extra service they provide to their timely paying customers.
