1963Kennedy 10698 Report post Posted June 3, 2019 So I have an antique cell phone. I'm usually around a land line so I don't need upgrade. Recently in a communication I'm just getting square figures. Anyone have any ideas? thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted June 3, 2019 What do you mean by "square figures"? You mean in displayed txts? Just a random thought, maybe that old phone can't handle characters like emojis. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Phaedrus 209521 Report post Posted June 8, 2019 Maybe time for an upgrade. I was forced to upgrade my antique flip-phone that I use for this recently... an advantage of this is that I always used to hate texting with it, but now I might be able to :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I get the same thing, at times. I also, have an Okder IPhone (I like my old phone) haha.. Apparently, Emojis my phone doesn't recognize .. Lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
