As soon as we got our new phones ready to use, I called AT & T and had them block everything on both phones, exept the caller ID and voice mail. All we dod is make and receive calls on the phone. I have a computer with the internet at home and I have a GPS and do not play games on line or anything else on it. I get really irritated when it tells me I can't make a call only emergency ones. Not going to get a smart phone ever. I pay on family share plan 63.13 a month for the 2 phones. I use the most minutes for work.
