I can think of no logical explanation for the repeated identical questions.

I can provide an answer to that, but it wouldn't be politically correct. 😝

But it would probably be somewhat amusing. Seriously, though, I really want to understand this behavior. I don't think one even gets any of those beginner points for replying to a question. But, as the people who ask the question for the 89th time almost never come back, I'm fated not to know.

I am starting to think that those who make such posts don't have the foggiest idea why they are posting. It strikes me more like some of the replies I see in Facebook without any rhyme or reason to them.

What benefit or pleasure can one derive from doing that? I honestly get the trolling posts. I don't approve but I understand. These.... nope.

Given the information that you have provided, and the fact that you make it a strong point to indicate that you are a pensioner on a fixed income, I suggest you would have to determine how much you are willing to spend on a phone. That decision is going to have to be made on what apps you find important to use, how much space you need to have on the phone to handle your needs, and how much can you spend. You can contact your carrier to see if they have any deals, and Apple does provide some deals on refurbished phones. Refurbished iPhone - Apple These are phones that have been factory refurbished and carry a warranty. If Apple does not suit your ability, you can see if any other smartphone fits your budget, however it would require the purchase of apps in another system.

I'd say anything older than a 5s is out.


You could as mentioned get a Refurbished model from Apple, and pay for it in installments if your fixed budget allows for monthly payments for it.


Apple currently has refurbished iPhone 6s in Gold for $439. And you can get Special financing.

Beyond that if you plan on buying pre-owned for somewhere else, make sure the iPhone is actually unlocked, and can be used before handing over money.

Make sure the steps here were followed when buying second hand:
