Need Cell Phone Helps

D, is your phone unlocked and set up for ATT service? if so them consumer cellular is probably your ticket for aprovider. i have their service and i rather like it.

My calls were fine. It was the data speed. Very random 4g and 3g that very often hovered around .010 to the blazing speed of .050mbps down. Pretty much a waste of a smart phone unless you're on WiFi. WiFi is a lot more common these days, but not everywhere.

Just ordered a new Samsung Galaxy S5 in Black. Will arrive on Tuesday so long iPhone 5S you've been solid. I just need something else and Android seems to better right now. I don't pay for phones or service (Company phone).

If you went through a carrier you could pay for insurance, which has covered me in the past for running over my phone in my coupe once.

Be sure and read the fine print if your getting insurance. (the part that says they may replace your phone with one that similar)

I got insurance on my wifes phone when she got a new one, as she has a habit of dropping them in puddles of water / the toilet. She has a slider phone and likes it, but apparently no one else in the world does. She dropped it and cracked the screen so I had a new phone sent with the handy dandy insurance. There was a $50 deductable that I had to pay. Got the new phone in the mail a few days later, and it was a different model then the one my wife had (Not a slider, which is what she wanted...) Looked it up on their site, and it was an $80 phone, while my wifes was around a $200 phone. With the $7 a month they chared, plus the $50, i was in for more then if I just bought that junk phone that they sent new... I'm not sure if the one they sent was new or a refurb. It was not it a box like it would be if it was bought new at a store. Sent it back close to a month ago and still waiting for my $50 deductable back. (This remined me to go file a dispute with my cc company.) Got a new digitizer for my wifes phone, and fixed her broken screen for under $20.


TL/DR

If you don't get a popular phone, and you get insurance, don't count on getting the same model phone back if you make a claim

Nope, I had an issue with my S4 and they offered to replace it for $5. You do get a refurb though. It's better than breaking your phone and being SOL.
