I am into year four for the current phone. Previously the phone I had 
was really inexpensive, I was not sure how much I would use the phone, 
and I had it for seven or eight years; I had to upgrade because of 
service changes I think. Replaced the battery in it myself once. When I 
got a new phone the SIM card in the old phone was so out-of-date it was 
incompatible. Before that was a flip-phone that I rarely used; also 
became outdated.
I do much more on the phone today than I did years ago and I am not a 
very phone-oriented person. I prefer the desktop and email.
I do not understand people who pay a lot monthly for a phone.
