I sold cell pones in the early days, size of a brick they were and had to have an 8x10" transceiver in the trunk. ---

Thanks jt! I had already run over to COSTCO and purchased the little beauty. So, after I read your message I checked Verizon. No contest. The Costco deal was waaay better, several hundred dollars. Anyhow, I guess Verizon knew I got a new phone when the service was updated, and invited me for free tech help, should I need it. I had to go buy a USB-C charger to go with the cord provided by Samsung. I haven’t tried setting up the new phone, yet, still back in its box, (too busy having fun), and I’ve left my old vacated phone at condo and have been going around with no phone. 😃 _ **CSA** _ 🌴 🕶 🌴 ---

I wasn’t suggesting you buy from Verizon, just check what phones were available while you had plenty of time to compare them. OBE! I hope the new phone works out for you. ---

> [@jtsanders](#): > > I wasn’t suggesting you buy from Verizon, just check what phones were available while you had plenty of time to compare them. I realized that and I thanked you. I have a couple weeks to see if I like it. It can be returned. It didn’t get great reviews on Verizon’s site, but most things people found fault with are things I wouldn’t use or care about. **Again, Thank You jt** for the great suggestion. _After_ the purchase, with your suggestion, I compared Verizon’s price (whichever one I can believe) and the best deal of three was $300 over COSTCO and the worst was $500. Compared with my old dinosaur phone I’m sure I will absolutely like it. I didn’t want a new one, I needed a new one. It was time. I’m not going to concern myself with a stupid phone. Life is too short and I’ll choose where to spend my time. VDC driver’s suggestion made my decision easier. I had something to motivate me to do it. _ **CSA** _ 🌴 🕶 🌴 ---

Get a wireless charger for your new phone, like hyper miling, I get 4 to 6 days on a charge. Phones were under my domain and had to replace a few connection boards for the charger. ---

This was for decades the highway from Atlanta/Birmingham west to Memphis and beyond https://www.google.com/maps/embed?pb=%213m2%212sen%214v0%216m8%211m7%211sW4WA32GOLm7gZCSRPHKr9g%212m2%211d34.3688193%212d-88.8519127%213f296.13%214f10.147%215f0.643 When I learned to drive there were gravel drive arounds for trucks over 13’6"high but long trailers with the rear axles extended that were lower than the bridge needed to take the gravel also. BTW, if you back up a few hundred yards the business that Scrapyard\_John worked at seems to be on the right. ---
