Do you have a cracked cell phone screen?

I dropped it other day and now it has about ten cracks ugh. I don't have warranty so would need to buy a new screen. I checked online and they are the price of this phone itself!! 😬 So I have to deal with this for a while.

Verizon gave my a free Google Pixel, as long as I handed them my old phone and upgraded to unlimited service. About $80 a month. Yet I was already paying $70, so no problem.

But they pay for it in installments every month, so I think I am locked in for two years. I think if I switch carriers, I will have to pay off the balance.

Yet I plan to stay. Free $1000 phone!

My cable company wants me to switch to them, and are offering a free phone, too.

@JoyfulSilence I'm with Verizon now too. For the longest time I was with T-Mobile (Sprint before the merger). Verizon got me with the free phone thing too. Now I have the Samsung Z-Flip and I love it.

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.

@JoyfulSilence Sounds like you kept your old phone a bit too long. But yes, if the phone is warping or buldging out the back it is time to pull the pin and run. 🤣🤣🤣

Yeah. It was nearly 10 years old.
