I could, easily. I don't own one! I do have a basic "flip phone", but only use it on necessity. I've also always hated talking on the phone.

I would rather talk on the phone than text. I got my first cell phone before texting became commonplace (early 2000s) and I liked being able to have voice calls wherever I was. I miss people actually calling me. My phone call volume gets lighter every year.

I could do it but would need some sort of mobile phone since I don't have a land line.

The only "smart phone" features I use are Spotify for music in my vehicle and sometimes the calculator and stop watch apps.

I'd do it, but they just switched us over to in-department smart phones (blecch) at work.
If they would exempt the hours I'm at work, I'd totally do it.
Nothing infuriates me more than walking around in public and everyone has their nose buried in their phones.

Click on the links to the contest and nothing happens. Click on Vitaminwater for more information and you get a 404 error. The video link doesn't say squat about entering the contest, just has 22 seconds of people with cell phones.
Nope, just a bad link.

Folks can Google it if they're really interested.

LOL I could do that easily, too. And if some people can only see pics of their grandkids, check on elderly parents, or keep in touch with family members without today's technology, I just don't know what to say. (Except that, yes, they're addicted).

I don't even have a cell phone of any type, so it'd be just another normal year for me.

So... yeah. Absolutely I could. That's easy money.
