Yea!!!!.

I actually got a smart phone about 4 years ago. First one I lost somewhere on my farm & never did find it. Have had this one for 1 1/2 years now. I was the only one without a smart phone & all my friends were totally non-techy. Me, the computer engineer had the dumb phone so I bought the least expensive smart phone I could get. It was a good thing I did because my computer died & my phone is now my computer, my phone, & my camera....good deal for the price.

Only time it hasn't been enough was when I needed a word processor to communicate with me lawyer 2100 miles away. Interesting because before I got my repaired computer up & running for the word processor I had to sign documents I received in email on my phone. I actually found a phone app be Adobe that lets you fill in PDF files & actually sign them with your finger. Awesome find.

Smart phones are powerful tools....they are just pathetic for word processing.....but I do almost everything I did on my computer on my smart android phone. I have an SD card for the photos so they don't take up my phone memory. Not sure uf newer smart phones are SD card compatible.

I use my wifi at home but usually use the 4G everywhere else.

Yep I had to learn some techy stuff quickly because I had no idea how to access my gmail account off my computer so I had to transfer documents off computer & onto my ohone to email them using the USB cables. Took me a few hours to figure it out & work through the details but it was successful. Guess the old computer engineer in me hadn't been lost completely even though techology has changed so much.

I feel lost without my smart phone now as it is my connection to everything outside my home.
