Okay. I just found this thread. (I've been too busy discussing purses.)

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 name is Janis. I use my phone as a ~"gasp"~ phone. When my previous phone died, I sent my husband to buy me a new one with the FEWEST bells & whistles. My requirements were that it did nothing fancy and it could live through being dropped 1000 times.

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...

Okay, people, listen up.

See the little "unutterably silliness" thingy next to the thread?

That means this whole thread is a joke.....meant to sign up people for a fictional support group.........and just have fun with it.

So just run with it, okay? Stop worrying about cost, reasoning, etc. Stop being 'serious'.

I'm now taking nominations for President, Vice President, Treasurer, and refreshments chairman.

Text me your qualifications (and gratuities offered) for the above openings.

No! I'm going to ask Santa to bring you a Droid phone - which will take over your life - you'll need a really big stick to whack the little guy into submission!
