Deidre,
I've started a new thread since this isn't about Bookshare any longer.
People have two iPhones or two phones with the same carrier when they have a
work phone and a home phone, so I actually do not think that is an issue.
So, I gather from what you said about the 4S, you are basically using it as a
wifi device only and not using it as a phone.
If that is the case, one thought would be to activate it as a phone and replace
whatever you are currently using as a phone with it and instead of buying
another phone, perhaps buy an iPad Mini, either the newest mini 2, or the
previous mini with retina display.
Use the phone for phone things, and use the mini for books, music etc. You will
have double the battery life at least with a mini.
Or, like you say, chuck both current phones, and get a new iPhone with enough
memory for what you want to do and go with a lower cost plan through someone
like t-mobile, Consumer Cellular, etc., where you would not be tied into a
contract.
There are tons of options. The first thing I would do is sort out exactly what
you want to be able to do. Then, do you want one device or two to maintain,
then talk with the different carriers and see what you can afford.
Good luck,
Richard

Using these kinds of features are how I spend a lot of time in my life. I love
looking at the text so to speak, meaning how something is written, punctuated,
etc. I don’t know what my priorities are with the phone anymore. I’m almost
ready to chuck the old cell phone and go for signing up with some carrier. I
really want to be able to dictate messages and use the audio feature.
I’ve asked this before and never got an answer. Can I use more
than one phone at a time? For example I don’t have a data plan or minutes on
this old 4S and I could opt to just get a new phone with my current carrier
and use that for phone and whatever else I like. That won’t force me to
inactivate the one I’m currently using, will it? I know that this is not the
case if you are staying with the same carrier and have a cell phone already.
You can’t be using 2 phones but then as I say the phone I have right now
doesn’t even have a plan on it. Can I have 2 IPhones with a plan on it, that is
if I could afford that? …hmmmm, another thing, I might just see how Facetime
works today.
Happy New Year.
