My name is rebarnmom and all my phone does is make calls and text. I can receive text messages, but it costs to actually send text messages, so I don't. It has a camera, but it takes worthless pics, so I don't. (That's why I keep my digital camera in my purse. Oops! that's the purse thread.)

You're IN!

My phone has a slide out thingie with a whole keyboard, but I can't use it ... I prefer to text on the 12-keypad. I do text alot, but that's because I don't like talking on the phone, and I'm always out & about with 3 kids.

My geek-quotient dropped to zero when I had my first child 10 years ago. Prior to that, I was a private CAD consultant. Now, I can't even unlock my husband's fancy touch-screen phone - or tell you what it is.

Oh - and I despise caller ID, so I try not to look at who the caller is. I prefer "hello?" and am genuinely surprised by who is calling me ... or I just don't even answer the phone or check voicemail, so I don't know that "so & so" called me ... if anyone says "someone called me from this number ..." I will probably hang up on you.

You're In!

The new one I am getting, which runs Android 2.1, may do more...

DIS-Qualified!
