My old devices, Android and Apple are useful for creating alternative accounts for some games. Currently, I have 18 devices with SimCity Buildit loaded. I got bored with that never ending game so most of those devices are just turned off. The old smart phone with just 16GB are still able to call 911, the emergency number is the USA. I was able to donate a few to the women’s shelter so the victims of domestic violence could call the police at least.

Ty for the clarification. Did I get down voted for saying I didn’t know something and was going to research? Or maybe for saying the iPhone was not of much use to me?

Straight talk is month to month. Verizon owns you for three years and you will comply with their rules.

I switched to iPhone 14 Plus in March as it was the then Apple’s flagship. For some things, I still use my android Samsung phone and tablet on WiFi. Can you do something similar?

My hearing aid pairs up beautifully via Bluetooth with my iPhone or I wouldn’t be able to have a conversation. Previously, my phone was mostly for texting. I had never had an Apple toy before March, so the learning curve was tough as the phone had no instructions. You may need to help with the basics, like turning it on and off, adding a contact, using the calendar, etm.

My iPhone 14 Plus looked so fragile, it is clad in a protective case. I don’t remember what color I got.

iPhone 14 Plus bought in March. There were no instructions included at all. Action button? I will have to look it up. From the comments of others, it might be useful. Right now, the iPhone is just one of many devices I use to play a game. It is also used for calls and text, maybe 10 a month. I use my iPad 10, bought at the same time, as a replacement for my laptops main functions of shopping, chrome searches, and banking. My laptops are now for old games from before the micro transaction and scammer apps from the Apple Store.

Depending on how she uses her Samsung, she will have fun. I went from Samsung to iPhone 14 plus has March. Some things I like better on each. My Samsung is still my calendar and contact list, plus my gmail and on WiFi. The iPhone is my voice and text toy.

Make your default ringtone silence with no vibration. Add specific ring tones to those contacts you want to talk with. Let your voicemail sort out the calls to ignore or answer.

The iPhone 14 plus pairs perfectly to my Bluetooth hearing aids. With the app Jango Radio, I can enjoy hours of free music when at events I am not interested in watch but must attend as a good grandpa.

I kept the box in case I need to ship it while still under warranty. To make it easy to find again, I put it into the box my Commodore 64 came in right next to the Nokia boxes.

I use a dedicated digital Olympus camera when taking pictures so the phone camera is ignored. My old lens from my film camera days fit the OM10. The RAM and storage were the deciding factors when picking my first Apple toy. I regret getting the iPhone 14 plus as it was too much money for my uses, but it does promise a long life. The design means nothing as I always put a thick protective case on the phones I carry. I have no vanity about what phone I am seen carrying. As a phone, I will use it until the phone fails, Verizon no longer supports it, or I die.
