Post Race!

[Peter Porter]

I was using a flip phone up until last year. I only moved over because I wanted to be able to use the phone as a navigation device for a very remote, multi-week, bike ride.

I retired my old Nokia last year after two buttons went bad, the 0 and 9, but I still have the phone. My Samsung now is pretty nice, but it's one of the cheapest models you could buy. I mostly just use it for phone calls.

Yeah, for many years I'd just buy $20 worth of minutes and they were good for three months. I never needed more than that.

I still do that. I buy my minutes at a local supermarket, which is enough for about 3 months.

But I just keep the phone in the car for emergencies.

I use to keep my old Nokia in my car for emergencies, like yourself, but I don't do that with my new smartphone, specially to protect it's data from the heat over the summer.
