I have 4 cell phones. 3 of them are smart phones. I have 2 connected phone lines, one on the non smart phone and one on one of the smart phones. I don't have a data plan on the connected smart phone. One of the smart phones that isn't connected is a ZTE Flash. The battery door broke on my little point and shoot, and another cheap point and shoot cost almost as much as the ZTE Flash. The ZTE Flash was marked down from 279.00 to 99.00 as a Kroger 'card' purchase. It is for their iWireless network, but I never have intended to activate it. I bought it just for the camera....at 12MP, etc. it comes prette close to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3 and its competitors. The other smart phone that isn't connected is a Nokia E5. I mainly bought that phone because it is the only phone I'm aware of that has 'non cellular data GPS mapping' which allows for map/directions use through a GPS technology that doesn't use cellular data/a cell signal, so you don't have to have a data plan or even a connected line. It also has an FM radio and other neat features I like. The connected smartphone I have is the first generation (?) AT&T Fusion (GSM) and the non smart phone I have is the Verizon Cosmos 3 (CDMA). Sometimes in rural areas I'll get a CDMA signal, but not a GSM signal. Sometimes vice versa. Over the years, I've found it great to have both. These networks have been replaced by newer, faster networks...but the prepaid plans are still on these networks. I'm like you, I usually only turn onr of those two phones on to make a call...otherwise off. I might spend an entire day making calls, but then go days without making a call, so flat rate per day prepaid works best for me. One of my lines has a Texas area code, and the other a California area code, so the maximum number of people can call and leave a message without any cost to them (I have older relatives who don't have cell phones). I disconnected the land line in my house in California in the early 2000s because I never used it. I haven't had a landline since. I also have a Fuji FinePix S8200 40x optical zoom camera. I also have a Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ27 camera, but the charger mount for the proprietary battery sometimes doesn't work.

P.S. I usually use the alarm, and the calculator (for MPG figuring ), on the Verizon Cosmos 3.
