    I don't have a mobile device that support those tools. My phone is a simple basic cellphone for making phone calls & simple texting.

    I don't have access to mobile web browsing on my phone. The combined price of smart phones and the required internet access packages are simply is simply too high for our family of six. I do use coupon codes from department stores that are sent by regular text message and would use more of these especially if offered by local grocery stores or Walmart, for example.

    I agree with Josie101 and bamabunch5. I can not afford to spend that much on the extras. I have a simple cell that takes pictures, and cann talkk on and dosimple texting. It can access the internet at at high price but not worth it to me.

    I just got a smartphone and am starting to get the hang of it. I only use the free apps. I will not pay for those. I do get some of the coupons thru my phone but I will not make purchases. I don't trust it.

    I chose "Other." Unless I'm able to connect my mobile phone to a printer, there are some vendors that will not accept coupons/promotions through a cell phone and/or online coupons altogether.

    I just have a basic phone to make calls on. I am concerned about the privacy with utilizing some of these apps.

    I have a phone that has all the 'extras". After two months of a super high phone bill, we decided not to use the extra's unless it is a emergency.

    I love them as I do not have to waste paper to print a coupon and I always have my phone with me so I do not forget them. I have unlimited texting rates so I don't mind the texts.
