Uses for old phone

[BMountaineer]

My previous Samsung phone sits in a drawer. It's still a highly loaded device, just not connected with a cell plan now. I can't help but think it ought to be kept charged & in my truck. What are some creative ideas you guys have found as a reason to keep this phone handy?

Literally none. Donate or sell it. Could call 911 i guess. But not much use beyond that.

It should still work as a computer, I think.

With the phone not connected to a plan it's pretty much useless. I suppose it could be used to take pics.

I use an old iPhone in the garage connected to WiFi and a Bluetooth speaker for music. That way I’m not constantly disconnecting from the speaker if I walk to the house.

Yeah - that's the sort of wisdom I'm after. Thanks for contributing.

Extra video camera when needed.

I’ve thought about using the video camera on the phone somehow to project to a monitor and have it set up over my Dillon reloading press to make sure powder is in every case while I’m working the lever but I think I’ll end up doing a small web camera for that.
