Hi all,
It's been a while since I've had time/motivation to write. However, I have a question for you all. I have unlimited data on Verizon, and I know if I upgrade I lose it. Since it seems to me that most communication soon will be data (skype, google chat, etc.) as well as the fact that I routinely use way more than my data quota, I'm unwilling to do this. Does anyone have a workaround/solution for that? I don't need a new phone, but I'd like the Samsung Galaxy s5 when it comes out. Can I win the argument with Verizon to upgrade and keep my plan? Has anyone successfully done that?
I've done some research for what I can buy at amazon/newegg/bestbuy outright, but the prices suck (probably because nobody does it that way).
On another note, Bestbuy pisses me off. Apparently, using their insurance policy (which I've been paying for a year now and can't get out of by walking in a store - you have to call a special number) DOESN'T GUARANTEE YOU A NEW PHONE - JUST A REFURB! Had I known this, I think I wouldn't have signed up. It's only a few dollars cheaper per month than the Verizon insurance, and I'm pretty sure that gives a new phone.
Be Frugal, be well :)
