Crossposting since I seem to have put this in the wrong thread: You may not believe that someone in this day and age that doesn't live in an agrarian commune can be as ignorant about phones as I am, but it's true. Anyways, after resisting many years I finally ended up getting a phone, a cheap pre-paid tracfone I got at Walmart. I'm like, 90% sure it's Android, just a really old version that looks nothing like other android phones I've seen (actually I just checked and it says Android 6.0.1). However, these days the battery lasts maybe 30 hours, its screen is all cracked because I'm a clumsy oaf, and it's giving me warnings about low storage space despite the fact I never put anything on it. Combined with a stimulus check, I was thinking now might be the time to get a phone that isn't a piece of poo poo. I would definitely like to keep the same number, since updating that would be a pain. Ideally I'd like to keep Tracfone as well, since it's cheap and having limited minutes doesn't matter much when I pretty much only use it so people can call me to schedule real life stuff. I have a vague idea that I can do this by transferring the sim card? But I also recall helping my mother when her phone broke (she doesn't seem to accept that being able to fix PCs doesn't mean I'm good with phones) and I recall the people at the AT&T place had a little gadget they used to cut the sim card into a different shape, so I don't know how involved that is? So goons, please help this luddite learn what I need to do to switch to a new phone, and maybe also recommend what model I should be looking at for a decent combination of performance and price (also sturdy. Sturdy would be good).
