Facts About Me - My Mobile Phone Edition

Tweet

Good afternoon, fellow MyLotters! I’m only making one post today because I have a lot of work to do before I cash out tonight. I decided to make that post another “Facts About Me” and this time I’m doing a Mobile Phone Edition of the series. 1. I received my first phone (not a prepaid) when I was 18. It was a Christmas present from my parents. It didn’t have the modern features we have today because it was 2002, but I did have a Winnie-The-Pooh case, and my ringtone sounded like an ice cream truck lol. The bill eventually became too much for us at the time though. 2. We wound up switching to Tracfone. My parents bought two of those blue and gray Nokia phones. They were only to be used when we were out and about, so that we could check in, an for emergencies only. 3. I bought my own Tracfone about 10yrs ago, and I have been using them and paying for my minutes ever since (and I’m not interested in switching right now because it works for me). I bought the Motorola c139, which didn’t have any features such as a camera or downloadable ringtones, but it was pink haha. I didn’t care about the features, as long as I could use it to make calls when I was out and about (i.e., community college, substitute teaching or out with friends). 4. I eventually moved to a flip phone and QWERTY keyboard phone over the years, with a little more modern features, but not as many as other phones. I got what I could afford at the time, and what appealed to me. I did eventually get a touchscreen phone that could run Twitter and Facebook, but it couldn’t run apps such as Instagram. I also signed up for a monthly plan. 5. I finally bought my first smartphone with Tracfone in 2015. I think it was the LG Optimus Fuel. I liked it. It ran all the apps I wanted, gave me minutes for voice calls and texting, as well as mobile data, rather than splitting them up for each one. I have plenty of each, and I can add more for a decent price if need be (i.e, 1000 texts for $5). 6. However, I had a mishap with that phone last year, so I wound up having to buy another Tracfone (smartphone) at Walmart. Out of the selection they had, I chose the ZTE Majesty Pro (obviously I had my number and minutes/data transferred over), and I’m on the same monthly plan. I liked it, and then didn’t care for it for a while (as I’m used to LG, since my last 4 phones were LG), but I’m okay for now. I’ll be sticking with this phone for the time being, as getting another one isn’t high on my priority list right now. Alrighty, I’ve bored you all enough (tho you had the option to hit the back button lol). I’m going to get back to my work, and I’ll TRY to go through my notifications later, but I can’t make any promises today. You all have a good day and take care. :) Photo Credit: Pixabay.
