How much data on your smartphone do most of the members here have? Is data used when making a call? What smartphone do you have? Anyone have an apple SE?

I'm a Verizon customer using a Samsung galaxy S4. I have 2 gigs of data and pay about $60/mo for service. The S4 cost me about a hundred bucks on eBay.
I Rarely ever use more than 1 gig of my data allotment even though I'm on the internet quite a bit. But I rarely ever stream video which is what uses a lot of data.
No phone calls don't consume data.

Text even more rarely, and only if someone texts me first. We still have a land line phone, plus a PC, laptop, and tablet, so why in the world would we need a smart phone? Just one more distraction in life, and one more thing to worry about losing or breaking or trying to keep updated. Call us crazy or stupid, but we're perfectly happy without one, just as we're happy being Facebook holdouts.
Nothing against y'all (prolly all of y'all) who love your smart phones (and FB). More power to you!

I could never imagine not having the power of a smart phone not in my pocket. My brother in law still has a phone from 15 years ago which he proudly will not upgrade.......he also was proud thirty years ago going to a car dealer and asking to be shown the least expensive vehicle on the lot......which he hard bargained for and would come back repeatedly until the dealer finally sold him the car.......he bought a standard transmission Pinto once, and it is not like he did not have the money.....he was superintendent of schools and his wife was a language teacher and they made over a quarter a million a year.......just some people take pride in not spending money.

I've never learned what all that geeky locked unlocked stuff means. So I just stick to seller descriptions which guarantee it'll work with my provider. No problems yet.

LOL Vec. See, that's the thing: my friends frequently gripe about their phones as well, especially when they upgrade (which seems to me to be all the time, though I'm sure it isn't). They get all worried about how to do stuff on the new phone, sometimes run to take a course, etc. Seems like a lot of trouble to me. I think life is far less complicated with my Nokia.
And hey, ppaca, maybe one of these days I'll upgrade to a flip phone (ha), if they even still make those. Gotta keep the kids in the world laughing, after all.

Yes they still make them and I will probably just get one of those again if I can ever get out of the house.
