I would add to this, also get the largest size hard drive you can afford even if it means waiting and saving up for it. Why? People who practice I want what I want and I want it now often regret it. With adding more and more apps, email, and all the other stuff most of us put on our phones, it’s far better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it. If iPhones and iPads used an SD card instead of a hard drive, it wouldn’t be a problem. Just get a larger SD card or a second or third card. SD cards can get lostbut the hard drive isn’t going anywhere.

I'd also make sure to get one with the 64 bit processor if you do go that route. Get other people's input too. Best of luck, Richard Reality is the leading cause of stress for those who are in touch with it.

I might go look. I take it that these are identical in function to the IPhones and voice over works just as well, correct? From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Richard Turner Sent: Thursday, January 01, 2015 11:06 AM To: ViPone list Subject: number of phones, was about bookshare Deidre, 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.
