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.

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.

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.

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.

Go to the bathroom a couple times and you'll see!
