general phone question .....

[Anonymous]

I have a Nokia 515 = not a smartphone, but which suite my needs atm

I have been playing around with it lately = going into unknown territory other than call/text/camera/radio

& I'm really kinda scared that'll I get into something & have a secret/magic big bill to pay = no kidding

also recently I've taken to answering my best friend's Galaxy 6 phone, say when she goes outside the pub for a smoke & her phone receives as incoming call - it really grates & is embarrassing for me sitting at the table hearing the perpetual ringing of her phone - now without infringing her privacy at all - I've watched & learned how to just quite simply answer the phone doing the swipe finger thing & be professional after that - I do not answer any call that simply shows up eg a number/private number ..... where's this going = I now have some confidence in handling a smartphone = Cleoriff said some time ago if she can do it then so can I ..... I have about 15 months on my contract with O2 to go so I won't be switching to a smartphone anytime soon = just thought I'd like to share this with you ..... thank you

Hi Jane.

Taking things at your own speed is key.

Thanks for sharing. 😄

Only you can make the decision Jane...but honestly I would not go back now.

It really does open up a whole new world as it were. I started with the Samsung S3...and last month upgraded to the Samsung Note 3 (in red)...

I love it and had so much help setting it up from MI5....:smileywink:

If you do decide to go for it I suggest you start with a simple smartphone - Let us know when you're ready and we'll throw you some ideas

When you're ready to upgrade, we're here to help you find the right one for you. In the meanwhile, when you have time, go into a Carphone Warehouse if you have one near you. They have a wide selection of phones you can be touchy feely with. You can find one that feels comfortable.

thank you Bambino, there is a Carphone Warehouse in town

I'll do as you suggest & have a play on their phones next year

I have been somewhat put off smartphones as my best friend struggles with her Galaxy 6 wheras she had no problem with her previous phone an Eriksson flip-top type

Good morning @wispared7. As usual some very sound advice has already been offered, to which I would add that there are some excellent books on the market that guide you gently through lots of the features of specific models of phone. I know u like to have written instructions to hand so when you decide what phone to buy get yourself a manual to read and follow. Very soon you will be uo there with the best of them posting photos to your heart's content. And we all look forward to that.
