However, having a smartphone is nice for the social media such as <a href="http://www.lmsideas.net" rel="nofollow">facebook status</a> and twitter tweets.

The phones aren't top of the line, but such a step up from my old flip phone, like you said (plus I have a weird Richard Branson crush thing...). Anyway I use it thrifting all the time, and when I'm out somewhere and have 20 minutes to spare between other things, I just check the GPS for a nearby thrift store. I've also played around with the Goggles app - sometimes it can help ID vintage labels and things!Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07295242260011135196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-72543628162879057152012-07-04T10:34:20.195-04:002012-07-04T10:34:20.195-04:00I don't have a lot of money myself.

Their site offers refurbished phones (phones returned for no reason, but are checked and available and are almost new) for a cheap price. I got an iPhone 3gs for only $7 used as opposed to $250 new. I'm not sure who your provider is (if you have one) but a refurbished phone is good 90% of the time. No one knows my phone was ever used until I brag about my thriftiness.birdilicioushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02539186986619394111noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2966296007306432724.post-88681170969755234982012-07-04T10:17:51.385-04:002012-07-04T10:17:51.385-04:00It sucked not being able to check mail and other s...It sucked not being able to check mail and other small computer things when I was on vacation.

I actually do feel smarter for owning it, and while it's hard to say if upgrading to a fancy internet plan has paid for itself, I think it has. <br /><br />It's great to access GPS when you get lost looking for yard sales. It's great to do quick internet searches when you see a logo...but just don't know. It really fantastic to be able to get back to people quickly when they send you an inquiry on an item you are selling.Nells Vintage Househttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02073157347851220520noreply@blogger.com
