Tips on How My Mom Gets Around with Her New Phone


Recently I had purchase a new phone for my mom online due to one of her phone broke down having it for ten years.

It wasn't one of those android phones it was the less complicated phones we had started ourselves decades ago that was a keypad with no social media accounts connected or any internet that we're all hung up on.

Although my mom has two sets of phone one from her Globe Cellular and Sun Cellular carrier due she has friends who have different phone carrier in the Philippines to lessen your expenses on calls or text. My mom wanted to have two separate accounts.

Even though it is possible to put two sim cards in one phone my mom prefer to have two separate phones with her to not confuse who she is calling.

Living in the Philippines most people have two phones with them to carry along with them all separate simcards and phone carrier.

Those living elsewhere you will think we are rich that why we would have two phones to bring with us.

The life in the Philippines is different some people have prepaid or postpaid carrier otherwise to make life easier on themselves some carry two phones.

I bought my mom a new phone online due we can't go outside to purchase one at the store.

Usually when we have a new phone we want to maintain it brand new and in order to do that is to put a temper glass on the screen this protects our phone in case it drops off our hands.

Often we ask the store to put it on our phone due for us not to go outside we learn to do it on our own since my mom doesn't know how to do it.

I was able to do it for her. I had purchase the temper glass online a store that sold the unit model my mom had for her phone.

I also purchase my mom's phone case in a separate seller this way she would protect her phone both ways.

People who want to identify their phone it is best you don't get color black this way you can spot your phone right away.

I will share you a video clip how to put your temper glass and phone case on your phone for those who don't know how to do it.


My mom has a habit when she has a new phone she will call herself to check out the ringtone or notification sound to hear it from her second phone here is a sample by watching this video clip.


I am not sure if there is anyone who is like my mom but I find it funny. To my mom this is only her way if she can determine what ringtone or notification sound she wants on her new phone.
