Thanks for your feedback. You know what you need for your digital needs.
These two guys were not Apple fans, but they are using their IPads and I phone 6’s and seem to be satisfied.
My wife and I are grandparents and use our Android smart phones to keep in contact with our families/friends and to take photos.
My wife texts a lot with grandkids, adult children, friends and other family members. I’m light re texting but use it a few times per day for that. She now uses her Android as her main phone versus her unlisted landline number. That enables her to stay in contact with local relatives/friends and across the country people by having her Android with her and ready for calls and texts.
She has gotten very good with picture taking and sending them. I have been doing that for years and do a good job.
We both use Tracfone for the above, and Android phones that cost between $100 to $200. We are amazed at how friends/relatives our age spend a small fortune on their I phones and the service to do less or no more than what we do with our Androids.
Have a great weekend.
Despite my commentary in support of Apple machines, my wife and I use Tracfones. I agree that lots of folks (mostly young ones) spend a small fortune on their cell phones and access, and it seems that they're the ones who would be better off using the money elsewhere. All we use our phones for is to contact one another when necessary, and the Tracfone does that with minimal cost and anonymity. Our iPads are for the extra functions like Facetime chats etc. (we're also grandparents and the grandkids call a lot).
