| No one in the theatre will have to be concerned about my wife and I regarding our phone. Having been involved in theatre for 40 years, we have to much respect for others to have our flip phone ring during a performance. It is turned off while waiting in line to enter the theatre. Calling these devices "smart" phones is a misnomer for those who have them and use them in the theatre. They should be called "dumb" phones because of the dumb owners. | |

| Hi Mike again; Our flip phone will take photos. Sorry, I forgot that it did. I always use my camera for taking pictures. These phones preceded today's smart phones and got their name because of the cover that you had to "flip" open to use the phone. They are small, lightweight, affordable, and very rugged. | |

| Hi Michael; We have one. A flip phone is a portable phone about one third the size of the average smart phone. It has a small keyboard and screen and can call anywhere in the world, just like a smart phone can. It also has internet capability but cannot take pictures. An average plan costs about ten dollars a month and you accumulate free usage hours every month. They are great for people like us who are not on the phone everyday. | |

| People still use that style of phone. I'm pretty sure Verizon still offers them. | |

| they are especially popular with those who employ "burner phones." I'm pretty sure the ones Verizon still offers allow the ringer to be silenced. But that's another song. |
