I'm going from a flip phone not looking for the best. Well maybe I'd get the Samsung if the wife would make me some videos.

This isn't a phone question but does anyone know how much it would cost to repair a screen on a tv? My bro laid his samgsung on it's face and it messed up and he just gave it to me. I wonder if it cost just as much as a new one

Is it new? If so and he paid for it with his credit card he might have coverage or the store may give a 90 day anything is covered type of warranty.

Re: Smart Phone Help

I have a question. My contract with Verizon is up in March next year, and I'm debating leaving because they are not going to let me keep my unlimited plan. I know Sprint has unlimited data, but they have a shoddy rep from multiple people I've talked to, who all said they do some things with their billing (like being charged for things you don't have/use) and the coverage isn't that great. As far as the data goes, I've looked at my history of data usage and it basically ranges between 750 kb - 1.25 gb, so I'm still undecided if I do get a new plan what plan I should get. I don't want to be paying more for a plan with a data cap, but I also don't want to run the risk of going over my limit. So basically still undecided what route to take here. Any input appreciated.

No it's a year old or so

I'm in a similar situation. I got the shitty Thunderbolt phone when they told me if I signed up now I could be grandfathered in under the unlimited plan. My data use isn't that high, but it's the peace of mind I like. You can keep unlimited if you buy the phone out-right. Sprint is rolling out real LTE in the DC area over the next couple months, I'm leaning that way myself.

Re: Smart Phone Help

So I moved up in life and switched from my flip phone to an Iphon. I wonder how hard it would be for me to switch back? I don't text, the internet is way too small to see or use, other then taking better pictures and video I'm not sure I'll take advantage of what it offers.
