I've had a mobile, still with Orange too and not changing, for many years now, but i don't need and definately don't want one of the new smart phones....dare say when this one dies i'll be getting another old school jobbie second hand, because as with cars, they just don't make 'em like this any more.
Very seldom text, camera useful just in case, but i like simple rugged normal phones, my current one is dust and waterproof designed for outside workers so droppable and just does everything i ask, nice big numbers display and the battery lasts near on a month on standby and if i use it every day a weekly charge suffices.
Compare to SWMBO's i-thingy so called smart phone which is far too complicated for me anyway, makes stupid silly noises repeatedly alerting the user to something dreadfully important requiring their immediate if not sooner attention (how i haven't put a hammer through the thing i don't quite know) but the blinking things always on charge or requiring charge, wouldn't give you a thankyou for one.
On the subject of chancers beggars and general bone idle ne'er do wells, if telling them to get a job offends, tough.
