(Sometimes they're included.) <br /><br />Also, when I upgraded mine (back in 2019), I "leased" it, so I paid a bit more every month for the lease (rather than buying it outright). When the lease was up (18 months, I think it was), I was able to pay the outstanding balance to purchase it outright.

They do well considering how old they are but the batteries in both are showing worrisome signs and we know it's time to think about new phones. Like you, our plan falls in the legacy rank and we were notified that our plan will increase $12 per month. We'll try to figure this plan part now but probably will wait for Apple's newest iPhones to release this fall before making a purchase. Provided that is our 8s don't kill over. *cross fingers* Best of luck to you!Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-45706166382990674632022-07-05T12:01:07.089-04:002022-07-05T12:01:07.089-04:00Glad to hear your biopsy was negative!

My son has a 12 (I think) mini, and isn't as happy as he could be. He doesn't think the camera is as good as it would be in the regular 12. I pay under $20 a month with H2O. They use the AT&T network (I don't understand how that works!). It's not unlimited data, I don't think, but I never have any problem. They have more expensive plans with more data. I don't use date much out of the house anyway. I got 256 GB. I had so little on my old phone I had to delete photos to take mo re when there were only 30ish! I don't dent the 256.

We were with Verizon and was paying $280 a month and half the time the service sucked. My cable company started it's own mobile company so I decided to give them a try. I bought a new 13 (which has an amazing camera by the way). Even with financing the phone we are only paying $93 a month now and after a small hiccup with the order we have been very happy with the service. My phone now works where Verizon wouldn't. It pays to shop around and luckily with this being a new program my price is guaranteed to never go up!

The salesman said to stick with an Android and not have to learn to use an iPhone. Just learning all the new stuff on the Android was bad enough.
