Do you still keep your old phone....


...or have one? I still have a Nokia n73,it's old but i wouldn't trade it.

I have one of my old phones still, just in case (ok, in the very likely event) that I lose the new one.

The Walmart in my neighborhood has a self-serve machine in their lobby that gives cash for old phones. Pretty cool.

reply

lol at likely event!
That phone turn in booth is pretty cool

Respectfully - I don't do WalMart. I avoid them. Cheap junk made overseas. They don't respect the US economy, they just want to rake money. Not a MallWart fan.

reply

Oh yes, I still got my oldest one. I think it's Nokia 3310, somewhere in a drawer. I wouldn't dream of throwing it away. Still got the text messages left, sweet memories. :)

I wish I had not gotten rid of my old Motorola flip phone.

I have old phones dating back to the 1930's I believe. I'm not a pack rat, but I tend to keep certain old stuff like phones.

Oh yeah, and my cell phone is an old style flip phone. Old Skol here. I also like to stay off the grid as much as possible.

No smartphone for me. The most advanced I got was to a slider, which is sitting in a drawer now, but I've gone back to a flip phone. My slider was really good at butt-dialing; it would turn itself on and start dialing. I think it was possessed.

reply


A slider??



😎

reply

Sorry. A slider is a phone that has a keyboard that slides out when you want to text. Does that make sense?

reply


Yeah, I guess so, I've just never seen one. To me a "slider" is a White Castle hamburger. Mmmmm!

reply

Yeah me too mmmmm

White Castle was around where I grew up. I don't know why, but nobody I knew called them sliders. We do now, but not back then. It was just, "hey, do you want White Castle?"

reply


We didn't call them sliders either when I was young. We just said "Hey, do want some "White Castles?"
I began to hear them called sliders about 10 years ago. Apparently that's a more recent appellation.

No, good riddance to them

reply

I still keep my Sony Ericsson and Motorola

reply

I regret throwing out my old phones. I saved my old iphone 4, just for the texts mostly I guess and some pics.

I really want an old rotary phone from the 40s or so, hard to find though.

reply

I was curious about it and i looked on local online market...i actually found one for sale.

reply

I wonder if it would it even work anymore ?

reply

Well... the person that sales it says that it still works.Now if this is true or not,i don't know.

reply

Is it red? I really want a red one. I have seen them on ebay but never quite what I'm looking for.

reply

No,it's olive.

reply

I see a bunch on Ebay.

reply

Yes me too, but its never quite what I'm looking for. Maybe its earlier than the 40s.. hmm..
