New Phones...

I think I already mentioned that we bought me a new Moto G Power 5G a couple of months ago. Setting it up was easy enough except it didn't transfer all my phone numbers over from my old Moto E Power... *sigh* Pretty's new phone is a Samsung Galaxy S22. It came in the mail yesterday. (She bought it because her boyfriend said it was the phone he just bought and he likes his so far.) When she transferred her phone numbers to the new phone, she found several of mine mixed in with hers... So I got the rest of them I'd lost now. She just called me to make sure her phone works correctly. I told her 5 am is a little early to be calling someone. Obviously, I was already awake.

I dislike getting a new phone. Even though I always stick with the same brand, I am never great at adapting to the new features.

@LadyDuck I was always taught if it is not broken, don't fix it. Very rarely do people wait until their phone is broken to replace. And I am no different, although I did wear much of the touch screen out on 1 phone. Maybe that is why I dislike getting new phones.

New phones are pretty easy to figure out. My old phone was over six years old when we bought my new phone. Pretty always took my old phones to use. This is the first time she's ever gotten a new one.

Samsung is a good phone. I receive every day proposal to buy one from my phone provider and also from my Bank. I have no intention to replace my phone now.

We bought both our phones on sale. Mine cost $179, from around $300, and hers cost around $200, on sale from $500.

@DaddyEvil - I did not even check how much the Samsung proposed by my bank is. I do not want to transfer all the photos and the apps to a new phone. Mine is working so well.

@LadyDuck My old phone was giving problems when we bought my new one. I think that's the reason it didn't transfer all my phone numbers over. Pretty always wanted my older phones but my last one wasn't worth keeping.

New phone are kinda of fun, but frustrating to me at first. But, of course they are. I’m not a tech person, and unfortunately, I won’t ever be. I’ve always said I’ll have to live somewhere close to either my brother-in-law or my friend, Quentin. Technology is their business, and I’m too poor to pay anyone else.

@AmbiePam I always tell people I'm sweet and innocent... Nobody seems to believe me, though.

If you lived close to me, I could help you with it, too. And wouldn't charge you anything.

True. I need to call several of my friends and let them know I'm still alive.

lol I got a new phone too. Mine is a Samsung Galaxy S24+ and I like it so far. I bought it on Amazon. Mine old one was a Samsung Galaxy A14SG. My contacts transferred, but the audiobook files didn't. So I am listening to the audiobook on my old phone.

I'm glad you got a new phone... One of the things I check is that a new-to-me phone can do is let me read my ebooks on it or I don't want it.

I've owned Samsung phones before but prefer the Moto brand now. I LOVED my last one and this new one because they have the largest batteries you can put in a phone. My phone charge lasts six or seven days using it to make calls, send texts and read my ebooks.

We're both normally awake all night and sleep during the daytime. We text each other all night long.

Well, at least the missing phone numbers mystery finally got solved ?? Funny that they ended up hiding in Pretty’s phone instead of transferring properly to yours. Technology really does like to keep us guessing sometimes.

I'm just glad we got those numbers back again. They're from friends all over the world. I think both phones are registered to my Gmail account.
