Did you do anything funny after coming out of anesthesia? On my first, I told me wife I was James Bond, pulled out my finger pistol and said "pew pew" as I shot her.

Nice, did you get a plain flip phone or a nicer smart phone? We use tracfone and pay around $80 a year for a new phone and one year of service. Weirdly it is cheaper to get a new phone and service than just to buy the service itself.

i went to Verizon..i didnt want a new phone, and they said i was covered up to 700....so a Iphone 12 was in my option and works great so far.
i am locked in for 3 yrs at the 80$ plan. The dude was great setting it up and all the acessories i needed.
Busy now- changing phone numbers from banking and doctors and etc.

It’s impressive to have waited so long to get one. I was one of the kids waiting in line for hours to get the original iPhone and I have a hard time picturing life without one now (or similar type device). Family, friends, business, it’s the best tool for most of my life. Though every time I see my usage statistics, I start to think those who don’t have a cell at all might be the wiser and better among us for not being tuned in to the rest of the world 24/7/365.

Heck i am 45+ now, and its gotten where my banking & doctors want to verify identity thru text and i was unable to do that. So i was being forced basically to get one and trying to rely on my brothers phone was being a bit bothering to him.

I wouldn't giggle at you about the phone. You just can't see my silly grin.

Give you credit for holding out but sad that you missed great stuff in between. My elder parents were not tech savy but they were one of the first to jump on board and loved it for Facetime ot communicate and see the grandkids play, perfrom etc.
And Mom used it to read and surf the web and dad to watch movies and sports.

Congrats and enjoy

I can understand that. In 2004 I moved from Mass to D.C. while working for a Fortune 100 company. I did not keep in touch with anyone so I did not need a cell phone. A few years later they had this offer from Verizon - 20% corporate discount on every plan. I said what the heck and got a free flip phone with 50 minutes per month (yes, minutes!) for $20 per month. A few years ago my wife paid $99 to replace the original one when it no longer held a charge. It was a 3G phone. Last year they sent me a 4G flip phone for free and upped my calling to unlimited with no contract. I paid $22 last month. Even though I left the company 14 years ago I still get the corporate discount. In all of the years I had the 50 minutes I only exceeded it twice while travelling and needing to call my wife. Most months I used no minutes. I don't text, tweet, take pictures or anything else. To me it is just a phone. A few weeks ago they sent me an offer for a supposed free 'smart' phone - Samsung Galaxy 5G. They also offered the competitor, but I don't do the cult of Apple. For sh#ts and giggles I may check out the offer as there is a Verizon store in the mall across the street from my complex.
