Hubby is telephonically challenged.

My husband has poor phone skills. When he got the phone I set it up. He asked me if he should lock it. I told him that in his case an unlocked phone was the way to go because once I saw a friend lock her phone and she couldn’t remember how to get back into it. His cell phone has been on driving mode since he got it. He wants it that way. What’s driving mode you ask? It means the phone is on speaker. All of the time. Once I called him at work to ask him what to get his boss as a gift for Christmas. I found out too late that he was standing nearby and heard the whole thing. now I always ask who’s nearby before I say anything that I might not want overheard. He can never tell what’s in missed calls. He can’t call anyone without using the voice commands. In fact he can’t do anything with the phone without using the voice commands. I find it easier to just push the buttons. What about you? How is your phone set up?

Aren’t men supposed to know everything about electronics though? I usually use the voice commands when I’m driving and have the bluetooth in my ear. Although since I’ve had this new phone I still haven’t set those up *smacks own hand* bad girl.

I am cell phone challenged, too, but not quite that bad. I like my phone not on speaker, and I never lock it, my husband does because he doesn’t have a flip phone, and he is always calling people in his pocket, lol.
I CAN’T use the cell camera.
Now, don’t get too excited, but there IS a cell phone for someone as challenged as your hubby. It has huge numbers and “on/off” buttons so it is all easy to use. My kids want to get it for me.

My hubby’s flips, so he doesn’t call people in his pocket. That’s pretty funny. Hubby’s buttons and display are huge, because on his last one he couldn’t see anything.

Set up? I haven’t read that tiny print in the book yet, lol. I really should shouldn’t I. I really lessons on every thing that is technical! Then I am memory challenged!
