    I own a Android phone, for the same reason as
    everyone else - I don't want to pay A$$le prices.
    I'm not happy with it, the constant ads.

    Anyway, I called a business yesterday. I used the
    gadget as a telephone, no internet, no apps, no Wifi.

    Then I opened GMap to find their location. The
    program displayed the address in the search box,
    before I typed anything! Googol monitored my call,
    did a reverse lookup, found their address. This is
    supposed to be 'helpful' or something.

    Private messenger? Don't know that one. A Fazebook thing?

    Well, I know they can snoop on anything they want, but unless there is some type of police action, should they really be moderating the chat between my brother and I when we're just sharing memes?

    Never happened on my I phone. Maybe you should spring for a few bucks? Mine was free. Or would have been if I hadn't gotten the max and extra memory.
