Best way to buy a phone these days?

Was it only around a month? God seemed like 2, at least...

[emoji106] We know what we're talking about here.

I haven't dealt with a real person on the purchase of my last 3 phones or the last few times I've tweaked my plan.

So, after you get the new phone via the mail, do you sell the old one, or hold on to it?

Depends. I always keep at least one spare phone around. Eventually, I'll sell the oldest one cheap or donate it to a friend or family member in need.

I sold the s4 to my cousin, but we've still got the s3, Note 4, & now my 6p for backups.

Speaking of which, I'm on the 6P right now.

Or if you're an idiot like me you'll buy a new one and another new one and also have two older used backup phones. [emoji85]

Yeah. Don't be a Mustang. He buys new phones in the same generation of devices & puts Nougat on both to drain his batteries & ruin his life.

Well, I tried to go through Best Buy but I'm not the primary account holder and they needed to be present, so I held off for a bit. I checked on Verizon's site and they had a deal going on where I get a discounted Zenpad 8 if I get a phone, so I went to a completely different store kinda far but with better reviews (almost none are above 3.5 stars, shocker), and including all fees and taxes ended up paying $154 total to cover the last 2 months of my Turbo, the Force, and the Zenpad 8, as well as another promo that gave me another 6 gigs of data. The new plan is also cheaper so I'm actually paying less on my monthly bill now too. I didn't really need a tablet for myself, but had been considering one for my business since I could definitely use it for things like taking payments or easier scheduling, so it seemed a win-win.

Even though it was clear this sales rep was another iPhone user who for every non-Apple model only knew the equivalent of CNet's pro/con list, overall I'm quite satisfied, and at least I didn't have to wait in agony for a week staring out my window for the UPS man...

Let me know if you want to get rid of the 6P. I'm getting rid of my Nexus 5, and i'll need a back-up.

I still have every phone I ever owned. 7 of them.
