How long have you been using your oldest cellphone?

For me my oldest cellphone lasted for 2 years.. I often change my phone every after a year or six months depending on the availability of new products that catches my interest. What about you?

My phone is about five or six years old now! I'd like a new one, but they're so expensive! I can't justify the money when I actually use my phone so little. I often leave it around the house and forget about it for days! It's just the wanting a new, pretty toy on my part I think!

Luckily my friend said I can have her old phone when she gets a new one in February. It won't be brand new, but it will be newer than mine!

I hope you can get it free from your friend since he/she will change his/hers. As long as its working well then no problem.

You can buy what you really like soon. Just a matter of time and tight budgeting.

Hi, I first started using a cell phone in my 11th standard in 2004.I used that cell for three years and got a new one in my first year of college.I basically wanted to switch over to a prepaid plan because I was spending too much of my father's money on my postpaid connection.Then again in my first year of post-graduation I found this great new product Nokia 5610 Express Music and bought it.I am still using this phone and have no intentions of parting with it unless of course there is some irresolvable problem because I love this cell.

My current cellphone is 5 years old now. It's 9500 and I enjoy using it even though it is "Jurassic" in terms of size. It is so convenient in sending long message because of the built-in typewriter keypad. I can watch videos without holding it. Just place it on the table and voila! It is like a mini-laptop for me. If I'm going to replace it, it will be a newer version of 9500.

Hahaha " Jurasic" age does'nt matter anyway. Its still working well and that's the best consideration.

I am not a handphone updater so it is likely that I will be using the same one for quite a while. The longest was around 3 years and I still have my very first handphone with me. Too bad the battery couldn't retain the charge else, there will be days whereby I will just take it out and use it.

Having a new or an old cellphone is not a big deal, so long as they are working, that's fine.

Right now i am using a new cell phone but i still have the old one and i use it whoever i can. I have at least 6 sims with me which keep on changing most of the time. So i need as many cells as i can to keep up with everyone. It has been 5 years since i got my cell so that i can still keep and use it whenever i want to. I love my first cell as it was a gift from my parents and it holds many memories also. Cheers!
