I thank my smartphone every time she manages to get me to where I'm going. I spent a great deal of time in my former years being lost.

I have zero sense of direction. So to me smartphones are the bomb. :heart:

I don't know what you use, but Wayz is an amazing App for not getting lost (most of the time). One trick I learned is to start your trip from home on Wi-Fi and you save on Data by leaving it off.

You are always a valuable source of information for everyone. Unfortunately, my tech knowledge is very limited so I don't even know how to do what you suggested. But thanks for telling me. I have seen Wayz before a long time ago, but I guess I didn't know what to do with it.  :silly: :-[

I just say, "Hey, Google" and then tell her where I want to go. Usually, she gets me there pretty well; with some notable exceptions. Sometimes I love her :in-love: and sometimes I hate her.  :sad1:

Don't have a smartphone just a unsmartphone. I was thinking of getting  one to use Ibotta or others like that. You can make money just from receipts. Find them on th3 ground and use it I know people do that. But if your paying 60.00 a month like my son is not worth it.

Except that when you agree to the TOS you agree to only upload your own personal receipts so I would not brag online that I was using receipts I found on the ground. I don't know what an unsmartphone even is but usually you have to have a smart phone capable of downloading apps and use the camera thru the app to submit receipts to the places that pay you to upload receipts.

I don't have a smartphone. I still have the old flip phone that I started out with 10 years ago. I don't go anywhere and my phone was only used if I had an emergency while out somewhere. It stays in my purse now. My husband has one only because he couldn't hear on the Doro phones. He has finally, after 2 years, started using news sites if he isn't busy and gets the weather every day. Otherwise, only 3 people have his phone number. He really does hate phones. So he takes me to my appointments and I need to call when I get there so use his phone.

Be on the look out, 3G is sun-setting and older phones that use that transmission with cease to work.  I had to upgrade to a 4G phone this year, so I am aware, Verizon has set a date but others have already stopped new customers from signing.

He has a 4G but we got a heads up that 5G is on it's way and 4G will no longer be available. He will wait until he has no choice.  On some survey sites I've noticed that to do some things, you can only use a mobile phone, no PC or laptop, so I'll soon have to make up my mind on what i want to do. I really do want one for the digital coupons at the stores I shop at and that would be my major reason for getting one because paper coupons are harder to find for products I use. I can't do online coupons. The page doesn't work for me. I've tried different sites to print some but can't. All i get is the site page and nothing works on it.

It is 3G that will become unavailable, not 4G.

I love my smart phone and I do use Ibotta and many other Apps to earn from receipts. Over all the apps I use pay for my phone many times each month.
