It reminds me of that old lady trying to buy a phone. The guy was talking down to her with plenty of complicated words only a geek could understand and she obviously was getting fed up with it. So she waited until he had run out of steam and asked in a sweet voice: ‘Yes, but is there a phone somewhere in there?’We laughed and applauded her.
I only upgraded to a cell phone after my land line got more expensive to keep compared to the no contract cell phone coverage I was offered. My flip phone makes phone calls. That’s it. No apps, no games, no camera, no gps. I’m happy.
I only bought my cell phone after he berated me for making him drive round and round O’Hare when my plane had a 3 hour delay. And I bought the simplest tiny Samsung just to talk or text (with a plan where I only pay for hours actually used) AND only he and immediate family have the number (and they KNOW I hardly even answer the land line- prefer to Skype right here (I needed help from a grandson to program emails into the thing because I couldn’t find the @ ;-D
Another great panel today. Interesting posts about the product placement issue. When I wrote my latest book, I avoided using the name of the sports league my fictional sports league represents. I learned later there aren’t rooms of people scouring the internet for improper or illegal usage of their products in literature. They don’t have the time or the money to go looking for every use of their product. Google the issue for a detailed description. That’s how I understood it anyways.

Why am I not surprised by the product placement?

Why don’t you like Kathy’s husband?

It’s a simplified cell phone for people who don’t want all the non-phone-call related features. It’s generally target marketed to older buyers.

I believe the dislike was for the word “husband,” not for the character himself.

My cell phone is for MY convenience no one else’s; which means if I don’t want to answer, I don’t!

What’s wrong with the word “husband”? I’ve been one for eighteen years, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Love my Jitterbug. No texting, no camera, nothing but phone. And large buttons.

In case anyone thought that all our readers are like Roy, I think these last three days have indicated otherwise.

I have the kind of cell phone that lets me call people and receive calls. It works. I don’t feel like paying extra for a smart phone.
