in addition to the PCs. there are some things that are just plain easier on a PC.

Knowing what I know now that I didn't think about when I got ours a year ago. I would get a bigger screen for my wife's phone so that you can use it for a GPS and see it better. I like the smaller models to put in my pocket. The wives carry their's in their pocketbook anyways so size doesn't matter. My son in law broke two screens on his I phone 6 model.

Smart phones are wonderful devices but be warned that once you have a good one it is very hard to be without.

we each have one as we're sometimes out doing separate errands and such.

5 I phones here with Verizon..

and as far as apps go , here are a few that I use:
MyRadar ~ Fox29 (local news)~FW Sites (Disney)~ NFL Mobile~ NHL~ Instagram~ NASCAR ~ TV Towers ~ Compass ~ WAZE ~ ez Level ~ Loves Truck Stop ~ Woodalls ~ My Pilot truck services ~ Gas Cubby ~ The Weather Channel ~ CNN ~ Find my I phone ~ Google Maps ~ Tide Data ~ NOAA ~ Costco ~ a few local radio stations ~ Tornado ~ KOA ~ Zillow ~ CBS ~ ESPN ~ STORM ~ 8tracks ~ Coach-Net ~ Tip Calculator

Skip the Iphones and go with Samsung Galaxy lol

I would say it's personal need..are there times you would be in different locations and need to get ahold of each other?

We each got one last Xmas. Cost per phone is high, but with AT&T you share the talk/data time. We have the smallest plan, which has unlimited talk/text, and most data we use is over wifi (free). When we are on trips, it's only $20 extra per gig if we go over on cell data, so over the course of the year we save big time, rather than enrolling in a higher data plan.

Hey I am about as cheap as people come... The kids got wife and my old phones when we became eligible for free or low-cost upgrades. Our youngest (8) has an iPhone 4 that does not have a active service contract but she knows how to use it to communicate using the Wi-Fi which is just about everywhere where we live.
