Going Basic
Old-school handsets come complete with all the buttons (a luxury nowadays!) and will suit anyone who simply wants to make a few calls or send a few text messages. If you like doing things the old-fashioned way — whether that’s finding your way with a trusty old map or A to Z, ordering takeout over the phone rather than through an app or other such handy uses of mobile phones — this is the type of handset for you. Nokia handsets are renowned in this respect for their reliability and longevity.

These are just a few functions! Apps such as Viber allow you to send text messages for free through WiFi, whereas the ever popular WhatsApp makes it possible to send pictures free.
Smartphones include phones such as the famous iPhone. They make travel planning easier. You can store boarding passes on your phone and you can use translator apps to overcome language barriers. There are also apps available that feature currency converters.
