sarabee1995 I had Verizon for my old landline. Back then, I had no mobile phone of any kind. Then I got cable-TV-company internet and voice, so dropped the Verizon landline.
When I shopped for my first smartphone (first ever mobile phone of any kind) ads and research suggested they had the best network. They owned the phone lines and even provided Internet and phone at work, so I figured they must be good. So I got a Samsung Galaxy at a Verizon store.
Yet last year my phone warped and some stranger saw it and said he sold phones and that meant the battery might explode! So I went shopping. I noticed some specials. I still thought I would have to pay something, though.
When the Verizon salesperson looked up my account, he said it had a free phone deal. I had to upgrade to unlimited (I had only had 3G a month. If I went over I had to pay $15).
I love unlimited. Also, I upgraded from 32 GB to 128 GB memory, and 4G to 5G. And a huge increase in battery life and notable speed increase.
I used to have to use battery saver mode and could only wait around for a few photos to upload when I posted them here. Now I fill my posts with photos since it is so fast now.
