About a month ago my main phone went swimming. Let's just leave it at that, you do not need any more details.
It has worked, sort of, since then, but it made me realize it was time I move into the newest century. I still use Tracfone, but I got a smartphone last night.
The sales person at Wal Mart did all the dialing, talking, entering numbers, backing up photos, etc. that had to be done. It was stuff that likely would have taken me four days or more to deal with.
I am thankful for the help.

Enjoy your new phone. I still have wired land phones. I have no idea how to use these new fangled things.

My cell phone is more reliable than the landline. I am trying to get hubby to do away with it. I need a cell at work to send out SOS signals to the teacher.

@GardenGerty I hardly ever use any phone at all. The landline is cheaper than those travelling ones.

You can get tracfone smartphones and they have data plans as well. Tracfone actually owns Straighttalk and also Total wireless.

@GardenGerty This is the one I use most, it's lighter to carry around.

In most cases you can transfer data and numbers direct from smartphone to smartphone, or transfer via the computer. The only problem is that often contacts are split into two contacts showing landline for one and the mobile phone for another.

The old phone was an android phone, blackberry style and he just typed in numbers, hit "select all" and away they went.

Well, I think so. I even think my son could, but he has not got the patience for it.

Of course the sales person will do all the job, how much you paid for the phone? what brand?
