DH & I average together about 300 minutes every 60 days on our phone. Most of those minutes are for calls to places like Dr. offices or Insurance Co. or repair shops & there is more "hold" time during those calls than actual talking. Call me a minimalist when it comes to the phone. We don't have a "smart phone"...just the little old flip phone which I love because it's small & the screen is protected when it's flipped down.
