Does anybody else here use a basic mobile phone and not a smart phone?

Basic phone only, for voice and text.

I don't need or want a so-called "smart" phone. I had one for a while, but soon had it unlocked, removed the card and sold it. It was heavy and bulky, and so difficult to use I missed calls and was unable to respond to recorded messages. I assume I could have obtained instructions somewhere, probably on-line, but I don't want to carry their print around everywhere just to help me make or answer the very occasional call.

Most of my calls are actually by land-line, and I need a proper PC anyway for its decently-sized keyboard and monitor, and to drive printers. This equipment now, particularly for the CAD programme I am trying to learn (TurboCAD). You can't use serious programmes like that or, say, Excel, on a portable telephone with no mouse and a screen the size of a beer-mat!

I'm using an old basic flip phone from the early 2000s. I have a $10/month plan on it (500 minutes/500 texts). It's mainly used as an emergency phone. I have a land line telephone and I use a desktop computer for all my Internet needs.

I have a smart phone but rarely use it for anything other than making calls. If I did want to I'd have to start by searching for the handbook.

I do not have a smart phone. Do not want a smart phone.
I type a lot and phones are too small. I want a standard size keyboard.
Only a basic Phone for calls and sms.

I'm siding with you on this...I just have a simple flip phone and it serve my needs and purposes well (incoming/outgoing calls, some texts, and emergencies).

I used a smartphone but I have no computer.

Do they honestly sell them?

Yes.
