I agree, they are way over-priced. Aren't all smart phones. I know I'll never pay anywhere near what they are asking for new ones, that's just nut's.

Like I said, I got my old 5C for free. I notice the battery really doesn't like the cold anymore. But, beyond that everything still works (except the off/lock button). When this one finally dies I'll have to do my homework. I've been with Verizon Wireless for fifteen-plus years and can usually get some pretty good "customer loyalty" deals like my current plan.

I've got a Motorola moto 6 something or other smart phone, 100-125 bucks brand new, with no contract... If it can't do something a $1,000 iphone can do, I haven't found it, plus the battery lasts 2-3 days.

I had a free flip phone for a long time and that was fine, but got to admit this smart phone can be pretty handy. If theres something you don't want or need, just turn it off...If I can figure the darn thing out anyone can, I never even saw a computer till my forties.
