October 2021

Unexpected change from Verizon to Google Fi. 

Mainly because of puppy chewing phone. S9+ had no chance. Display is dead, Phone is alive. 

Repair estimate locally is ~ 260. 

New Samsung A32 5G from Google Fi was 200 - 100 bill credits = 100. 

Initially sent in S9+ for a broken screen trade in with Samsung for a S10e for later, but that trade in did not work either. So, returned S10e.

Iphone 13 was available through Verizon with broken screen trade in, but ..... only for some unlimited plans. Bill credits were 30 months. 

In the end, Google Fi may not be the right answer for H who seems to use lots of data. More than earlier. Maybe this is pandemic related , work ? 


Update of winter 2018-2019

Iphone XR / 128 G
Apple giveback: 6s+ = 250 - Didn't work
$50 back - barclays card

Samsung S9 Plus in costco, Thanks to A. 
Maybe 150 for Iphone 5

Reasoning: Switch to Sprint $0 plan for a year. That worked. 
Phone needed to support both GSM and CDMA
Initially TMobile
