Yup...my little folder Casio brick -- proof against anything for years, will no longer make noise thru the speaker. Can write, but can't send, either. PFOOOOOO-EF The day got half eat up with Docs and it's too rainy to paint. And now gotta go stand around while some sleek 'effer wants to shove a loser model off on the old folks. Damn.....later....just venting..Hey, maybe I should eat a can beans, then go over there. "Hey free phone and service for year, sir, if you'll just leave --- very sooon. Ummmm...come to think of it -- we had chili for a late lunch.

OK...I gotta lock this 'puter thing up and hide it....getting embarrassed at these posts. Just one of those conjunctions of BS-days that happen.

Sorry to hear about it. For what it's worth, my mother-in-law loves her Motorola Moto G we helped her choose.

I received a call from another board member -- and this time there was sound. Beats me, but am happy as a clam in cold muck --so to speak. and, can speak and hear. Thanks for thecondolences and sugestion, Paul, and long may y'r Mom'd phone chirp merrily.

put an Otterbox case on it; resulting combo is near indestructible. And once you master a few basic apps you'll wonder why you ever went without one.

I chose the "Active" model, that is a little more armored than the standard. The drawback is that you can't find an external case for it. The advantage over an Iphone is the ability to expand the RAM storage with an SD card, and replace the battery easily.

Hope your phone keeps working just fine. If it doesn't, don't be afraid of the smart phones, they are a lot easier to work than you may think, and have some neat options for ease of use the flip-phones do not.

Thanks all, for the tips. If the world would just hire this here BBS to run things, eh? ;~`)

I have had this old flip/ flop Tract Phone since ? (forever) I just don`t know what phone and plan to get , every body I see are just walking around looking at their phone and texting . I thought I would be the last one who had other things to do than looking at a phone all day.

Are the nuclei and mitochondria calling each other now?

Gotta love modern medicine.

I got an S-5 Active last December and an Otterbox Defender series case for it too. Sturdy enough to be dropped in the street twice during a bicycle rides.

According to my ham radio friends, I have the last existing cell phone with a rotary dial!

I've always considered the Otterbox too "huge". I killed my first S5 a few months ago though, left it on the fender of the Jeep and drove off. Probably should look into one.

It's all I need.
