Even children today have a mobile phone. My grandmother has one, and she manages to use it pretty well. But how do we choose our mobiles? Aren’t we maybe spending too much on functions we never use?
I can tell you my grandma never used the email function of her mobile. That’s because she doesn’t even have an email address. Or the bluetooth! She has no idea what that is. All she wants is to have all her friends’ numbers in the agenda, to be able to dial them pretty quick, and she also wants the phone to have big keys, because her sight is not fabulous at almost 90 years of age.
Let’s take myself: I pretend I want to use my mobile’s email function, but I postponed getting a subscription since almost three years ago (since the day I bought the phone, actually). I could have got another model, at half price, good looking, and with everything I actually use. Why did I pay the extra money? Just to make sure that if one day I will be able to use those extra functions.
Yesterday I got a new mobile phone, and believe me, it has only the basics. It was almost free, and it has a very nice design, so I suppose I’ll be satisfied with it. Why pay more? Have your say, please!
