One day I hope to get rid of my smartphone and only carry a flip type phone for calls and text. Not because it is inexpensive. No email. Limited or no internet. In short, get away from this tiresome HURRY world we have cultivated. The constant feeling of being at work because work emails come in all hours of the day. Work calls come in all hours of the day. Text messages from work come in all hours of the day. All of this wonderful technology in your pocket that does not give the owner a moments peace. We are not built to work 24/7. The not so smartphone provides such an avenue for working 24/7. So, saving a few dollars for using a lesser phone is great. Saving my sanity with a bare basic phone is much better.
