What do you use your phone for the most?

I know that my phone has a camera and does text, calls, internet, can play vids, play games and do a lot more besides but I mainly use it for checking facebook, making and receiving calls and nothing else.

What do you use yours for and do you think that you use it to its complete and full potential or just limited like I do?

I use it for phoning my parents every so often. I suspect that in could make contact with other people as well, but I've never explored the possibility.

On the whole, I suspect I'm not using the phones full potential. you, it's so old it doesn't have many of the features of a modern phone anyway.

Mostly for texting. Never for Internet, though it might have the capability, not sure.

I use it most often for checking facebook and sending IMs. It's kind of ridiculous and I should go back to a dumbphone.

No question. Web browsing. I take the train to work in the morning, and probably about 90% of my phone's entire use is browsing on the train. I rarely make/receive calls on it, and have probably sent/received about 30 text messages on it in the 2 years I've had it.

Hanging up.

Bahahaha!

I tell people not to call me (unless it's a work-related person, of course) because I hate talking on the phone, so I guess I primarily use it for texting and as an alarm clock.

web browsing, taking pictures, gps, facebook, texting, email. I don't think I've ever used it as an actual phone though...

I text or use the Internet.

I rarely actually TALK on the phone, unless I have to for business, or it's my mom, or something like that.

I use it for work, lots of texting, checking facebook while I'm out. I feel pretty uncomfortable with being on the phone usually so I rarely actually talk, haha.

For quite a few years now Verizon sells a prepaid but cheap ($14.88) cell phone that comes with $10.00 credit towards whatever plan you choose. I've bought quite a few of these phones from Walmart. For someone who rarely uses a cell phone, that deal is hard to beat. I'll spend $15 a month on a prepaid card to put on my cell phone to roll-over the previous dollar amount of minutes I still have before the deadline comes up and I lose everything. As long as the cell phone will send and receive calls, then that's the only features I'm concerned with.

In the morning:
- alarm
- get the weather forecast
- read the news (various newspaper rss feeds),

During the day:
- language study (various mp3s and pdfs that are phenomenally boring to use and read at a desk but are interesting while mobile)
- music for outside

Evening:
- reading novels.


Once in a while I shall place a call too. I used to text more back when phones had keypads.

Probably web browsing and fb mostly. Pretty often for texting, keeping shopping and to do lists and tracking diet, etc. I use the camera fairly often. Don't actually talk on the phone much... mainly cause I hate talking on the phone, but it is kind of funny that its still called a phone when some people rarely use it like that!
