yup! tech gets updated nd older stuff obsolete so fast these days! I used a dumb flip phone way longer than I should have and finally got an iPhone 6s about 4 years ago lol! now its considered ancient and the 6s I have is considered the oldest phone apple will consider for a trade in towards the new iPhone 11.. or is it 12 by now? lol!On the other end of the spectrum......my wife and I went into the CelPhone store today to change the billing. My wife has my 'old' unit from about 6 or 7 years ago. The young fellow serving us remarked...."Wow, that is old, never seen one like that!" Some things get old quickly.
My wife would still have her analog cel phone but she had to turn it in as it would no longer work on the all digital network.yup! tech gets updated nd older stuff obsolete so fast these days!

I kind of miss not being tethered to a phone wherever and whenever I go. it was more freeing to know the phone was attached to the wall at home or you had to hunt down a pay phone... otherwise I was NOT available! lol! I remember my mom was thrilled when my dad brought home a 14 foot cord so she could go into the kitchen, laundry room, dining room or living room while on the phone with one of her chatty friends or aunts gossiping about soap operas. lol!My wife would still have her analog cel phone but she had to turn it in as it would no longer work on the all digital network.
Our analogue phone can still hook up to digital networks, but, as Edward amusingly points out, you do have to be tethered to it.My wife would still have her analog cel phone but she had to turn it in as it would no longer work on the all digital network.
