Old phone

What do you usually do with your old phones?
They don't get much in exchange and not to mention that they are always good at the end except for some minor discomfort.
So, what do you usually do with your old phones?

I keep the old phones as backup instead of selling it. They are very useful once our current phone dies or gets lost. And the old technology is always better than the new one.

Yup that's right.
I really wish we could upgrade our phone's RAM and such.

I collect them because they can look nice, and I can always use them as backup phones.

That's a great idea.
It's just that I don't want to switch in the first place but my phone is just too slow with just 2 GB RAM.

While that's the case, just be aware that if they are too old, you can't use then even if they still work.

Um... Why not?
As long as they work, we can always use them and not to mention that you don't get such quality these days....

2G has been turned off, in Australia 3G will be going away.

This is true I can probably can't use very old phone's cellular connection.

I can stiill use an old phone's wi-fi, bluetooth, fm radio, and other non-cellular data connections, so I can still reply to e-mails, instant messages, and use an app like Skype to use the internet to make phone calls and test messages.

The old phone can still be use as a music and video player, play games, and use apps like web browsers, so it still has other purposes other than voice calls and text.

I see.
No wonder you can't use them later. I am kinda reluctant to keep my Galaxy A5 phone aside.

after destroying the storage disk, I recycle it.

I don't think I can do that. I usually save things a lot, even when they are no longer working and especially if those are my first devices
