I'm with you Graymare. When I have had to get a new phone I go into Verizon and tell them that I need a phone that makes phone calls. It doesn't have to make coffee or solve for world peace, it just has to make phone calls.
My problem now is that my business is growing so fast that it would be good to be able to access my Google calendar on my phone. My Google calendar synchs up with my Outlook calendar so I can make sure that I have access to my appointments anywhere. I just don't want to have to buy an expensive phone that does much more than I need in order to get the two things that I do need.
I also drive my cars into the ground.
