Title: Sending a mobile phone to your money grabber in the FSU..
Post by: Steveboy on November 12, 2017, 06:29:10 AM
It still beats me why so many men feel the need to send a mobile phone to some women thousands of miles away!

Especially when the women tells you she has no smart phone OR has no camera on Skype, whats app is not working or some other codswallop..

Clicking this link is enough to tell you EVERY women on the planet has some kind of smart phone today..

They are just a few $$ all over Russia , we often have kids parties at our place and every child has a smart phone with Skype.. even the babies at kindergarten have them today... :chuckle:

When wifey and dochka were in Russia this year, the other Russian kids were quite surprised to meet this 8 year old who had an iPhone. Even a few women commented to wifey that our daughter's phone was worth more than theirs.

But indeed, all women seem to have smartphones of some description now.

A few young kids in our block have i phones , I told the little one to only chase the boys with i phones , cos I am not paying for her trips to the night clubs in a few years... :laugh:

Almost two years ago I bought my girl a I phone 5 used for just under two hundred dollars. I do not think I could of made her nearly as happy buying anything else for that amount of money that has kept her happy for so long. This year I bought her 14 year old son a I pad 2 for just over a hundred dollars. I have bought the boy a number of hundred gifts but none he cherishes as much as the phone. If you have a steady relationship Apple products make a very good gift that really impresses an FSU woman.

I think that was about 20 years ago...

And in any case no women should even think about her man or supposed man sending her a phone..If it was me the women would be living with me or I would be living with her before anything was sent..

But if you have been in a long term RELATIONSHIP and not some sponsor deal it is ok I guess..

But your not in a relationship with her???

It brings me joy for her to be happy. I got a lot of joy for two hundred dollars. Remember each trip to the Ukraine cost about 2500 to 3000 dollars. So Why should I care about a two hundred phone. Maybe you are so freaking poor you can not afford to buy you family a two hundred phone so you get jealous when I buy one.

Steve, Steve, Steve..

Why DO you see a different life than I ?  :chuckle:

In  SC's case her smartphone was an Alcatel flip phone and no capability to use SKYPE ( mid 2014).  I gave her my old Samsung Note II when I got a Note 4 and she was quite happy.

When it played up a new smartphone with a battery-life of several days was a vital replacement - as she was used to her old Alcatel going on for days and days


Whilst many RU women desire an iPhone - GAWD KNOWS WHY WHY - most 'put up ' with Chinese makes like Lenovo, etc., - f they have one at all....

Many of SC's friends don't have smartphones and use them to call each other - ensuring their offspring have a smartphone.

Some folks will feign joy at receiving a second hand phone, others will look for a new sponsor.

But why on earth would you want a relationship with a women for years who you do not even live with...its just a Fake relationship..

Actually it is impossible for you to say she is your women if you just see her 1/2 times a year ?

Maybe he’s married, he called her family?

Andrews right though, life isn’t that hard that a woman is forever happy because he bought her an old iPhone several years ago.

I've got a Nokia 6010.  Still works with original battery and still have a dirt cheap calling card service with it. I recently paid $10 refill time to extend it for another year.

I’m thinking of shutting down my smart phone and getting a cheap flip phone. Maybe I’ll find a classic Nokia for cheap on E Bay.

I seldom use my phone.. I just have some inexpensive Samsung , phones have never been of much interest to me, to be honest often I can just stamp on my phone and bin it..

When I go out I seldom take my phone and certainly seldom take it out of my pocket, actually I hate the dam thing!! Notification after notification... some email message , some Facebook message then something else does it ever stop!! Bloody pain in the ass and if some one does happen to send something important do you really think I want to waste time fiddling about whilst out in the street with some little buttons to reply! Im on the internet working all day and night what free time I do get the last thing I want is some dam stupid phone blipping away every second.. :chuckle:

On the subject of phones it has become really sad for most I sit and watch these people when Im out wondering what a sad boring life they lead. We was out for dinner a few days back and there was four separate couples all of them sat at their tables completely ignoring each other ! Really bizarre! One young couple came sat at a table near us, as soon as they were sat down out came the phone.. I swear there was no conversation, they sat has some dinner asked for the bill and left..absolutely crazy
its happening every where here..
Some times whilst on the Metro I just sit there laughing at these stupid people, I can even say exactly what position they will stand and their exact moves.. stand, lean on the side, hand in pocket, out comes phone and start tapping away! :( :(

I cannot think of a more sad existence ...

I don't know what is going to happen to youngsters over the next few years they are also hooked.. I have to take the phones off the kids at night as they just can't leave them alone, If I don't as soon as lights are out, out comes the phone from under the pillow.. :laugh: Crazy!! I already said next summer holiday Internet access is restricted to every other day, will have to go out cycling or something more interesting..

I see phones as a way the big corporations to subdue the population, if you have nothing to think about in life other than your phone and a few soap operas you certainly will not have time to see the other lot robbing joe public 24/7 !  :)

Ah right, because only Apple seems to make smartphones and all the other brands you mentioned are not smart phones.

Having ridden on mass transit for many years before 2000, most people riding often just stared (or dozing off) into space while riding.  Now at least, they have something to occupy themselves.   ;D

However, now it is more common for a quick theft to occur as someone comes behind you and swipes your electronic gadget. :o

I personally cannot stand the tiny screen for texting on smart phones.  I got a tablet to write messages -  it is a HUGE difference.  No more key-in errors.  :thumbsup:

Not quite sure what your risible reference to my 'politics' has to do with your clear lack of knowledge re the mobile phone market in Russia... You being in the Comms industry.... 

Indeed, I adore life in Russia and my Russian friends and colleagues.. 

The govt...  ?  Hmmm...  I dislike Theresa May and think she is dangerous as she'll let in Corbyn....

Should I leave the UK, too...?

Written from Belgium with a Russian sat opposite, who wonders at the selective blindness exhibied by the likes of you....
