Weather, news, gps, text, calls in that order. It replaced the "reading room" newspaper.
Just started texting last year ( due to com regarding illness in wife's family)
Now my VTT died on my obsolete windows phone. Do i have to learn to swipe now?

Everything but talking. Talking use is probably not even an hour a month, and I only average 400-500 texts a month. But I use it for banking, scheduling, news, weather, GPS, traffic, etc... so pretty much everything.
Calls, texts, checking for information, zero social media, zero banking, zero personal data exchange.
For EVERYTHING. My company supplies us with a Verizon Iphone so it is used for business as well as personal calls, texts, GPS, web surfing etc.
And I do hereby admit that I have a problem, I am on it much too often and I know admission is the first step!

calls, texts, news, weather, weather or traffic alerts, sometimes internet when not near a computer.
Everything, but I still prefer to use a computer if possible - proper keyboard and big screen makes a huge difference.

Ditto
I prefer to do internet things on my Desktop, but that's obviously not always possible.
the ONLY reason I Still have a laptop is for 1 piece of diagnostic software(FORSCAN) that requires Windows. there is a "lite" version for android, but the Full version which can pretty much do anything the Ford's IDS can, requires Windows.

Stream Tidal music and use it as a wifi hotspot. I use average 30G a month and I have unlimited plan.
I do some email but prefer a real keyboard. Will surf the web during idle times (along with checking email). It's mostly to fill in time when away from a computer.
I talk maybe 5 minutes a month and send maybe 10 texts a month on mine. Still gets a good half hour of usage per day, I'd estimate, between checking email when away from desk and checking various sites.

Don't own one, don't want one, looks like the march of the lemmings, everybodys heads hunched down, everyday at work during breaks and lunch that's the first thing that comes out, a phone, seen too many close calls when people don't pay attention to what or where they are going

I have two cell phones, a work iPhone 7 that I carry 8-5 M-F and a personal 7S.
My expensive 7S basically sits at home and is used for the occasional text, random phone call, and looking at maps when we're on the road somewhere. It's an expensive toy, basically. But I'm not planning on replacing it for a few years.

Emergency calls only. At most I use it once a week for 1-2 minutes. Basically a go phone with 12 uses allowed for every 3 months ($100/yr). After that you pay extra.

Sits in my car in case of an emergency.
Not interested in being tied to it.

I've never owned a cell phone. I'd have to read the instruction manual before using one.
Calls mostly. It is something I can easily do without and not miss it.
