Hope you get many years of good service for it. I've had mine for about 5 years, but it's time to get another one. It'll barely hold a charge anymore, but it's a 3g phone, so it doesn't make sense to buy a battery. The phone phone will have to be replaced this year, anyway. I'll just have to deal with it until I save up the money. We take our phones for granted until something goes wrong with them.

After two years of heavy use bc being near 67 in March '20 meant (still) not venturing out much, a broken TV, too, I've been streaming, FBing with family, friends, long time acquaintances, taken a 10 day seminar on various jewelry making, following other group(s) interests, etc. - this phone has been a life line.

I've accidentally on a rare occasion tilted the plug slightly down which pushed the charging docket prong down.
This time when I tried to fix it it broke. Gah!

The battery for my old basic cell ran out, and was had to get a replacement battery. So I went w/o for ?2 yrs.
With the original covid lockdown I needed something better. So I scrambled for one.


🤔 I don't know whether mine is 3G, or 4G.
