I wish I had something clever to say.
I recently switched to T-mobile from Verizon. I have my mom on my account. She had a LG flip phone on Verizon that she really liked. I see T-mobile only offers an Alcatel flip phone that has a bunch of negative reviews. Are there any other flip phones that work on T-mobile that anyone could recommend? At the moment my friend gave me an old iPhone that I set up for her and showed her to use the phone app but she seems to have a hard time remembering how to use it. My dad helps her since he has a Samsung phone but I worry if she is alone and needs to use the phone she won't remember how.

I checked the Nokia site and saw the 3310. I didn't even realize this was still around. This phone actually looks great but it is only 3g and I think I remember reading that T-mobile wanted to turn off the 3g network on 2020 or before. The price is surprisingly low so maybe I'll just grab it. Thank you for the suggestion.

I had a nice experience with Best Buy. I preordered my 13 pro, trading in my 12 pro for their 800 trade-in value. Went to pick it up today. I backed up my phone and erased it before going to the store and took out my SIM card. I get there handed them my phone. They took a few minutes on their computer and handed me my 13 pro and I left. The guy just asked if I had my stuff backed up and I said yea so he gave me the new phone and I walked out.

What is the catch on this Best Buy trade in promotion.

https://www.bestbuy.com/site/iphone...e774cf9d6690INT

So I can trade in my iPhone 12 Pro for $900 towards a $1,000 iPhone 13 Pro? I assume I just continue to pay off the balance I owe on my phone through T-Mobile as I normally do, but I'll have a new phone from Best Buy for $100+ Tax?

No catch for me but I purchased my phone last year. I paid $106 with tax when I traded in my 12 pro for a 13 pro.

I backed up my phone, took my sim out and wiped it before even going to Best Buy. When I got there one of their reps just checked the phone for a couple of seconds turned it on and saw it was already wiped, asked me if I backed up my stuff. When I replied that I did they handed me the new 13 box and sent me on my way. I was in and out in like 15-20 minutes.

I ordered my 14 pro from apple and did the phone to phone transfer. I was actually amazed everything went smoothly. My line transferred from physical sim on 13 pro to e-sim on 14 pro in a couple of minutes.
I was expecting having to call customer service and have to wait forever because it was new iPhone day.

So apparently starting in may you will need to use a debit card or bank account for auto pay discount. I was looking at my account online and was greeted by a banner telling me to change my payment method since I use a credit card.

It's annoying but not a big deal for me. I was using a credit card since I figured may as well get some cash back if I'm paying my bill anyway. I'll switch to debit. Definitely don't trust t-mobile with my bank account given their breaches in recent years.

There's also been a scam with gift cards going around especially in target. Thieves will take gift cards and manage to get the numbers and pins somehow then place them back in the store. A coworker was hit with this recently with a target gift card. They got a $100 target gift card from a friend. When they went to use it, it was already redeemed. They have spoken to customer service and I think there's an investigation. They tried going to the store with the receipt and were told sorry can't help, call the customer service number on card.
