Title: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: niktitan132 on August 01, 2014, 09:25:30 PM I change to a new phone every 2-3 years.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: dadugan on August 01, 2014, 09:29:03 PM Until the phone totally broke or some important application no longer usable on it.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: beetcoin on August 01, 2014, 09:44:40 PM i buy used phones 1 or 2 generations behind.. but i'm happy with my galaxy s3, so i'll hold on to that phone for at least 1 more year. the new tech doesn't really bring much improvements, so that's the point?
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: zee11226 on August 01, 2014, 09:54:05 PM I think every 1-2 years. I will keep using it until it is broken.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Daniel91 on August 01, 2014, 10:28:51 PM Not often really.
Probably 3-4 years in average per phone. In fact, I change phone just when I have no other choice, because phone is broken :) Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: CodyAlfaridzi on August 01, 2014, 11:49:17 PM I'm not really scheduling when i change my phone, but the last time was almost 2 years until the screen is broken :D
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Outlander on August 02, 2014, 12:03:32 AM I use 6 different phones in the last 2 year. But i always buy the same brand.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Vicecity on August 02, 2014, 12:07:58 AM until it has water damage or a cracked screen, so whatever happens first then ill get a new one
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Traffic4u on August 02, 2014, 12:27:00 AM Rarely..I am using the same mobile phone for 3 years.
Have replaced the screen once about 2 months ago. Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Hazir on August 02, 2014, 12:28:41 AM Not often really. Probably 3-4 years in average per phone. In fact, I change phone just when I have no other choice, because phone is broken :) Pretty much I have the same approach. I only change phone when the old one is broken or it is too old. By old I mean like 5 years+. Other than than I don't use smartphone and I have phone without operating system. I don't understand people who needs to buy every generation of Samsung/iPhone. That is ridiculous in my eyes. Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: lemfuture on August 02, 2014, 12:31:08 AM only when it's broken. i still have flip phone
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: koshgel on August 02, 2014, 12:36:20 AM Probably every 2 to 3 years. Like to buy a nice phone and stick with it for awhile.
Don't even mind the two year contracts because of that Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: IDKwhatimdoing on August 02, 2014, 01:23:33 AM More often that I wish I had too....usually 2-3 times per day for at least an hour plus overnight.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: gelar24 on August 02, 2014, 01:29:58 AM I was not scheduled when I have to replace the phone: D
but if I want to replace it, I had to wait a lot of money to buy a new mobile phone output with very good spec and my love :) but in today to buy a gadget will never be satisfied, because more and more recent output is more tempting :) Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Watoshi-Dimobuto on August 02, 2014, 03:16:23 AM I change every 1 - 2 years depending on the phone condition.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: jump4ever on August 02, 2014, 03:31:33 AM I only change my phone when it's broken.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: alani123 on August 02, 2014, 03:38:33 AM My latest one got washed in the laundry by mistake. It's currently dumped in crystal cat litter haha. I read online that cat litter made out of silica (διoξείδιo τoυ πυριτίoυ) could effectively absorb the moisture that was traped in my screen. It seems to be working so far. So yeah, I only change phones every time my older one dies. I'm currently using my previous device that I thankfully didn't get rid off.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: DrG on August 02, 2014, 05:17:22 AM i buy used phones 1 or 2 generations behind.. but i'm happy with my galaxy s3, so i'll hold on to that phone for at least 1 more year. the new tech doesn't really bring much improvements, so that's the point? Same here. I have an s3 and it suits all my needs except I would like a bigger screen. So I'll probably end up getting a new Note 5 and gifting my S3 to family. I should have got the Note II back then... Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: CreamyPie on August 02, 2014, 06:50:28 AM 2 years +
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Kluge on August 02, 2014, 06:55:28 AM I replace my old phone about every 8-12 months. Only recently did I realize I could upgrade to a newer old phone for "free" by purchasing the phone through a third-party rather than redirectly since my contract's up and I can re-enlist. No $45 or whatever it is to replace the phone, either.
I've never purchased a newer model of phone since the first one I bought something like three years ago. I just use it to route the data connection and as GPS when I'm driving some place I don't remember the route for, like when it's more than a block away. ;D Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: searle421 on August 02, 2014, 07:01:41 AM Almost 3-6 months this year, it got always broken because my children loves to play with it.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: SunBin on August 02, 2014, 08:02:35 AM 3-5 years.
Phone price is coming down. Might change more often if the price is low. Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: badykvik on August 02, 2014, 09:38:01 AM When is broken or when is old (some years)
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: egghead123 on August 02, 2014, 01:42:24 PM How often do you change a new phone?....why would you change a "new" phone?..surely you mean how often do you change your old phone for a newer version/model/phone?
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: botany on August 02, 2014, 01:47:42 PM Change my phone when it is broken.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: iluvbitcoins on August 02, 2014, 01:50:42 PM Never :D
Until it gets broken I don't buy a new one However, the last one I traded and added some extra money for a new samsung galaxy ;) Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: chshabbir on August 02, 2014, 02:33:31 PM I change my phone every 1 - 2 years depending on the phone condition.! :D

Post by: premium_domainer on August 03, 2014, 11:40:12 AM 1.5 years+
or best prices with specification(deal) Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: ndtv on August 03, 2014, 11:44:25 AM I am not rich,
I just change when I can afford, mostly 2-3 years. Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: obocaman on August 03, 2014, 12:18:30 PM Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: HashFarmer on August 03, 2014, 12:21:02 PM 5-6 years or until my phone is no longer usable..
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: johnathan32 on August 03, 2014, 03:08:27 PM I change every three years Phones
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Brewins on August 03, 2014, 04:24:30 PM I change everytime the old one gets broken.
Sometimes many years, sometimes less than one. Unless there is some reason for me buying the phone, beyone using it as a phone. Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: JimClone on August 04, 2014, 11:59:22 AM Every 2 years since every year a new phone is released which is only slightly better then the previous year
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Dillar on August 04, 2014, 12:46:56 PM When old one breaks. I use phone for phoning and message writing only, internet sometimes, so old-fashioned is ok for me.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: ramkumar on August 04, 2014, 01:08:49 PM 1 + years
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Golph on August 04, 2014, 01:20:29 PM few years once, usually when few version come out..
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: ensurance982 on August 04, 2014, 04:27:46 PM I just wait until the need gets too high. I switch when the old phone becomes too slow because the latest OS or Apps get too demanding. I don't need the latest craze, only a decently working phone!
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: blacksails on August 04, 2014, 04:34:16 PM I have had my phone for 2 years now. Earlier I changed every two years, however this time I won't change until it gets unusable, and it still works good.
Saves money and the environment! :) Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Habeler876 on August 04, 2014, 05:18:17 PM I change to a new phone every 2-3 years. The older my phone is, the better quality it was. My first phone lasted 3 years. I used my current phone for 5 years, switched to another, then that broke after a year. I switched back to this one and have been using it for another 3 years. I hate new phones -- planned obsolescence at work. ;) Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone?

I used my current phone for 5 years, switched to another, then that broke after a year. I switched back to this one and have been using it for another 3 years. I hate new phones -- planned obsolescence at work. ;) I really don't buy that theory. I mean the theory of planned obsolescence. When it comes to printers or other equipment, for example: You used to pay a crap ton for the devices 10 or 20 years ago. The actual amount of money that went into the electronics and intricate stuff was still a lot. Now, the electronics, parts, etc. get cheaper every day. So the quality of the cases goes down (margin is shrinking). That way every part of a device needs to become cheaper. The quality suffers. Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: Hobbes2 on August 04, 2014, 09:10:29 PM I dont change phone
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: 247crypto on August 04, 2014, 09:15:05 PM I need one with upgraded Android to watch VKcams.com (http://http//www.VKcams.com) ;D ;D
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: atc1 on August 04, 2014, 09:19:03 PM Not too regularly. Unless the previous one breaks or is completely unusable,I don't see the point of purchasing a new one every now and then,especially for basic feature users.
Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: lateblooming on August 04, 2014, 09:36:15 PM I only change if it goes broken.
My Phone at home is still an old nonwireless with those big numberkeys to press down. If the cable is long enough why not? :) And i have less electromagnetic radiation/electrosmog. :D Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: luttelcoin on August 04, 2014, 09:46:41 PM Well I would change it every 3-4 years, but somehow it always takes me a year or two after that to actually posses it...
At that you could say it's broken. Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: FUR11 on August 04, 2014, 10:58:10 PM I need a new phone every couple months. I live a very dangerous and active life, so my phone has to withstand a lot of things including, but not limited to: Shocks (physical, as well as electrical), water, dust, molten iron, sand, boiling oil. Even the sturdy iPhones can't stand those things forever...

LMAO I believe the thread says "change" not charge, comment suits with your nick too gl :D and yes usually more than a year or so. Title: Re: How often do you change a new phone? Post by: beegatewood on August 05, 2014, 12:02:23 PM As long as possible until the phone breaks...
