l had a keypad phone (a cell phone with a physical keypad on the device) from LG which I personally bought when I was a high school student. It was a small and basic phone with radio as the only entertainment. I remember I bought it for only $60.

My first phone ever was already a smartphone.
It was an iPhone 4S which was given by my sister. She gave it to me because she upgraded (exchanged it for a better version) her phone to iPhone 5S. I was so happy at that time because I was the only one who didn't own a phone in our class. I was 14 years old at that time.

I often use my phone for video-calling. I have a Viber application installed on my phone which I can use for contacting my family and friends.
But if I don't have mobile data or an internet
connection, I simply call them as I subscribe to a postpaid plan where I can call and text without restrictions.

Well, I seldom call my friends or family unless it's an emergency because it's costly. More often than not, I use my phone for text messaging because it's affordable. And since we have access
to a wi-fi connection at work, I use my smartphone for video-calling as well, but of course, I only do that during lunch break.
