The 2110 was better...

If they re-issued the old Ericsson 388 I'd get another one of them.

I must have had this over ten years. It's beginning to show its age, the date display is up the creek. Good job I've got a couple of spare ones.

Ah those heady days when you could charge a phone and it would last all week.

Nokia 6310i (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_6310i) was my favourite. Really good solid phone.

The early smart phones did a lot of things well, but were universally bad at one thing - being a phone. You could do a lot with them, but trying to make or take a telephone call was a hit and miss affair.

I charge mine about once a month. But there again, I only use it about once a month :).

It's PAYG and I put £20 on it about twice a year.

[ReggieB]

Don't get me started on PAYG - or that lack of it .... PAYG nowadays is a one month contract.

[struth]

Use my phone quite a lot these days. Got a rolling monthly with virgin. Excellent value too.

I have a tablet which takes a SIM. It can be useful on holiday if you are staying somewhere without WiFi and don't want to rely on your phone all the time. The rest of the time I don't need access to the phone network from the tablet, because I use it via my home WiFi

Also my parents keep a phone in the car for emergencies.

In both cases we want to pay as a go. That is, pay for X hours/days access to the network. It's now very difficult if not impossible to get a SIM on that basis. Instead, the SIM marketed as "Pay as you go" are actually a one month contract. So use them once, and a month later you'll need to purchase an update - whether you used the phone for hours, or just one call.

I find that very annoying.

My 'phone mostly serves as an alarm clock, sometimes as an internet, very rarely used as a 'phone. But I've always had a full contract since 1996, more expensive but less hassle than PAYG. With my luck if I was on PAYG the one time I would really need to use it I would be out of credit.

Didn't realise that PAYG now has to be renewed monthly. That must be a pain in the ass.
