I said that exact same thing when I had my flip phone and the grand kids look at me like I was a Relic or something but for the price I thought I'd give it a shot. It can be the best investment you could make for your business alone.

I can see where it could really be handy this year while I'm out on the route. I may get a card reader so I can start taking charge cards, I can see where that could be handy for these one time cuts and odds jobs when were out working. I've got the older flip phone that's still active and I will be able to upgrade it in Oct. so I'm hoping to go to an I phone 6 for that line I hope cheap.

You've been hooked, I'm an android guy.
Customers can call, text, email, Facebook me anytime whatever is convenient for them. You can look up maps, use GPS to find places. You can even look, measure a property without going there.
Keep notes, take credit cards(be sure to charge them the fee) so many possibilities

Like I said I can see where it could really be handy this year while I'm out on the route, I just haven't got that far yet. I haven't as of yet let anyone have the phone number. I'm still using the old flip phone for the business and I may wait for the upgrade on it that way I don't have to change the phone number. I may try a credit card reader but that's going to be it for now, I think that would be a handy addition.

I use an iPad when I get on this site. I have an iPhone 5s as my work phone, and a android based lg g2 as my personal phone. I like both of them. The only thing I don't like about my Apple products is they are not compatable with other computer systems. I can't plug an sd card or a flash drive into my iPad. The Chargers for Apple products are also different from all other brands as well. You can use the same charger with most other smart phones. If you are looking at an iPhone 6 or 6 plus you may want to try carrying them in the same place you currently carry your 5c. Both are much larger than the iPhone 5 series. The 6 plus is almost as big as an iPad mini. They are great if you need something to get online with because the screen is much larger, but they are not as easy to carry around due to the larger size. There are also some great apps for smart phones. I really like the find my iPhone/iPad app. If your phone or iPad is stolen you can track it to its current location. You can also remotely disable it to prevent anyone else from getting access to your information.

Most of my internet browsing is done on the old desktop PC, but failing that it is on my Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 I bought last December.
I do have a Nokia Lumia with Windows Phone operating system but only use that for internet when out and about or if I'm being lazy and my phone is close to hand.
As for any Apple product, I would rather go without!

It's a lot like buying a mower one likes one particular brand, one likes another brand but they all end up being about the same thing in the end

I use a iPhone
Have been using the app for this group since day one.
The iPhone is just so easy to use.
Androids have to many steps to do anything.
Apple checks out every app and update for apps
Android does no checking if apps are safe.
I have seen people on here complain about using this forum app on a android and not being able to post a pic.

I agree that each system has their pros and cons. Android is the largest operating system, and is compatable with most computers. Android is also more susceptible to viruses. Apple isn't compatable with other systems, but it's operating system isn't as susceptible to viruses. Both systems offer great apps. I had a Nokia lumia as my personal phone for a while. I traded it for the lg g2 I have now. The lg is a better phone, mainly because the operating system offers more apps. Windows doesn't have a very good operating system for smart phones yet. Not many available apps.

My grandson I believe got stuck with an Android as kind of a hand me down thing when his older brother got a new Iphone. I can take a look at his and see if it would be something I'd like or not, I have the option or the upgrade on the business phone upcoming shortly, problem with getting an Android is one of each could get rather confusing. A lot of reviews I've been reading on some of the apps I've been looking at people with Android phones seem to have problems of one nature or the other. I do know that the sales guys at the AT&T store both told me that the Ipones were more user friendly than the Andriods but both were good phones.

It's all about what each person is used to. If you go with an android phone you will have to download anti virus software. It's no big deal because there are plenty of free anti virus apps out there. Both are great. Android phones will operate very similar to your Samsung tablet, so it shouldn't be that confusing to you. The only thing I dont like about my iPad is it isn't compatable with my office computer. It is great for Internet use and for photos, but a surface tablet would have been better for work applications. As far as phones go, I have both and to me it's 6 one way and half a dozen the other.

Well I don't really want to be down loading any anti virus software and I don't own a Samsung anything. The Iphone will do most anything I'm looking to do or have to do for the business.

I got you mixed up with jmurray01. The anti virus app is easy to load, and is just insurance from getting a virus. It sounds as though you don't use any other system for your work, so if you like your iPhone then you are on the right track. if you are going to use an iPhone for your business then I would suggest staying with Apple products. An iPad may also be useful to you.

The credit card scanner to me is asking for all your money to be ripped out of your bank account by some lame *** hacker.
I'll never put my card in one that someone is holding in their hand. It's bad enough you have to hope the card readers on gas pumps haven't been hacked with the information skimmers that keep all your pin numbers and what not.
The more technological our advances are, the easier it's getting for the bad people to hack your accounts.
It's like storing all your info in 'the cloud', basically trusting a large target to store all your information securely.. I call them targets because basically, they just haven't been hacked yet.. When they do, and all your Social Security numbers, account numbers, and other important data gets stolen, you'll hear about it on the news and maybe, just maybe, you'll get a canned email from that service that wants you to change your password.. or IS it that service?? Could be hackers there as well.
Yeah, I'll pay with cash TYVM..
Ohh, and when I sell one of my mowers or trimmers, etc.. it'll be cash..

I had handmedown flips and then handmedown androids. I bought an iphone 5s. I'm not knocking Apple but I kinda miss the androids. There are some free android apps I'd find more useful than the paid iphone apps. I'll eep the 5s til I need a new phone and probably go back to android. Grouping my contacts was easier with android. So was dealing with email.
As for paying with plastic, I believe youre pretty much covered for any monetary losses by the card company. Debit cards may be a little less safe because that's your money. Having said all that I've been buying and selling online since 200 and never had any problems. Knock on wood.
Oh yeah and for android users, check your privacy settings close. You might be surprised at what you find. If you haven't unchecked tracking then google knows everywhere you have been and when and for how long.
Same for iphone but not as bad since they aren't so twisted up with google.
