Thought I'd ask the community for advice - hopefully not starting any fire storms - about upgrading my phone. I'm not a data user and use my phone for - SHOCKER - making phone calls! I do text as well but almost never use it for any data. Once in a while I'll listen to pandora and maybe look up an address but don't use the GPS feature and never use it for email. Pictures? Nope, I have maybe 2-4? I have a camera for those.
So with that in mind, why would I want to upgrade? Because it seems my bank upgraded their app and I can't get it for my old OS
so I need to upgrade if I want to keep using that - use it mostly to locate an ATM and make deposits.
The only other requirements: I use keepass for passwords and they have an app so that should be easy. I have all my contacts/calendars on my mac so iCloud syncing needed. If it's not built in on the newer phones, there is a third party app I've been using which does okay. I also have a workbook that I keep car stats in and use WPS Office for that.
Obviously I'm not looking to spend $$$$'s of dollars (wouldn't have bought the Avant in the first place) and don't need the biggest/badest brick on the block. If it makes a difference, I'm on T-Mobile and have been for quite a while and don't have any issues with them so fine staying there - plus they give me a good military discount and free tethering
So what do you guys think? Poking around on my own, I was looking at some of the other Samsungs like the J7? Maybe..... S7? But not knowing all of the bells and whistles that are built in, figured I'd ask here rather than a sales person. Not adverse to other manufacturers either so if there's a good LG or something, I'll take that advice as well.
Thanks in advance for any advice and shared experiences!!!!
