- 2 b&w anycall flip phones (before high school)
- A pink LG chocolate, pink anycall haptic, iPhone 3s?? (high school)
- Blackberry for my first year of college only, then after that I didn't use a smart phone. I don't remember why though... I used a free phone app with WiFi on my iPad until I graduated 😅 In hindsight this was very embarrassing and awkward for my dating life because no one believed me when I said I didn't have a phone and sometimes I actually said "you can email me" 🤣
- After college I started using iPhones again. I had a 4S and currently I'm still using my iPhone SE that I got in 2016. So in 7 years I've only used two phones. I kind of want to upgrade but my phone still works so 🤷‍♂️
Adding another phone to this list. A month ago I upgraded my (almost dead) SE to an iPhone XR. My boss at work got a new phone and gave me her old one 😅
 
Pretty sure I had two small, LG phones that all they could really do was call. Texts were in a mail format which was weird. Then after the second I got an actual smartphone that was a Samsung J3. It wasn't too much but it was pretty nice. I could do plenty on it. Now I have a Motorola and it's a really nice phone. Much faster than the Samsung and it's bigger. Plus I get to have a wifi hotspot with this phone.
 
I've had 4 phones so far.

The first one I got just before 8th grade when me and my mom were going on a trip to L.A. I had it for a while and it was an ok phone, not a flagship or anything fancy but it got the job done.

The next phone I had was a Samsung and it was also ok. I remember once slipping on the drive way of the apartments I lived on the way to the bus and cracking my phone on the concrete lol. The crack was so deep that the touchscreen was going off on its phone and that was the end of my second phone.

My third phone was from the phone dealership place and it was kind of trash. The screen was hard to see in the sun and the colors were washed out, the case would come off anytime it dropped and with the battery so I would have to put it back every time. It also had only 8gigs of storage. I had to put up with it until I was in college when the battery puffed up and it would cut off every 5 minutes. Had to throw it out after the battery puffed up.

Now I'm on my fourth phone and I've had it for about 2 years now. It's a good phone, nice charge, the screen is brighter, and a lot more storage than my third phone. I usually use my phones until they break and I plan on doing that with my current phone.
 
I defo had more than 6+ I got my first brick when I was 10 and had quite some. I hate the concept of availability just cause you have a phone and especially that society builds things solely on apps and phasing out cash etc. And I hate being on phone so much, authorities and people I feel comfy with are okay but people I don't like not so much.
 
If we're talking flipphones I've probably went through a few. Mostly because they died. I have yet to upgrade to a smartphone. I fixed one that someone gave me when they upgraded and that it was 'broken' but it was an easy fix. I just never set it up as a personal phone, but can still use it to browse online.

I've had 4 brick phones in the past and I also had 6 landline phones as well
and yes I know I'm pretty behind on phones if I own brick phones and landlines
I only use them to call people anyways

I also had a j2me phone I loved playing games like
Mr bean racer 2 on it but then I sold the phone
because I could play j2me games on my PC
