Before I take a beating for making this thread and people just think I like making threads just to make them I did this. I went into AT & T to get me and my partner new phones. I was there a few days before for something else. I don't remember what we were there for. I decided to check into getting another phone. I was told I can get a new phone by just paying the taxes on the phone and they would wipe out the payment for this month. I didn't have the money at the time to pay the taxes to get the 2 phones. So I waited till yesterday and found out to get the phones I had to pay the payment on the account first and then pay the taxes to get the phones. I couldn't get the deal because it was past the date for the payment.
I debated on getting the phones and then decided to just do it The promotion was buy one phone and get another one for free. Just that my partner has to pay $20 a month for the phone service. So it's a little over $30 a month for me to get the phone and it get paid off that way. That's including me paying to use the service. So I got a new Samsung Galaxy 10S +. The phone cost 1k. If some remember I said I would never pay 1k for any phone and I broke that rule. I got the plus because it's a little bigger then the one my partner got which is the 10. I don't have much on the phone yet. I just got the phone yesterday. So I got to get used to this new phone. It certainly is something else. One thing I learned the salesman said was to not download those apps that say they can help improve your phones performance. He said they mess up your phone. So basically I have the latest computer I can put into my pocket, make calls and do other great stuff. I remember my first cellphone was super big prepaid phone that I got tired of having to get those prepaid cards to use the phone. That phone reminded me of the shoe phone from Get Smart.
My how things have drastically changed over the many years. I remember if you wanted to make a call away from home and at a business you had to go to a pay phone and either use coins to make a call or call someone collect. Now we have phones that you can send emails with. What will someone invent next. Again I thought anybody paying 1k for a phone had to be out of their mind. I guess you can include me to that list. LOL. I will say lastly we went to the mall to get cases for the phones instead of buying them at AT & T. They rip you off in those places. I got a case with a screen protector for $30 and my partner got a case for $15. In the store it would have been much more. The case would have been more then what I paid for both at the mall.
