Assuming you're talking about the Note 7, it wasn't a discounted upgrade. She was paying for it at full price, just in installments. She considered the Pixel, but decided to wait for the S8.

Yea, I suppose regardless an upgrade wouldn't be required when we pay full price for these things now.
I remember they kept telling me at Verizon that my "upgrade status" was put back on that line, so I could upgrade to any other phone. I think it was all just jargon.

AT&T. Called them today to see if I could find some nonsense for getting a new phone / ask for something out of stock (maybe they would have access to better inventory #s than are online). Guy told me to go to Walmart etc, buy a burner phone #, and then convert the line to ATT on our family plan, and I would get an essentially free upgrade to whatever top of the line phone is out right now.
Going to give it a go tomorrow or Saturday. Anyone else been told to try this?

Ok, went to some indian guy used cell store, got the shittiest phone they had. Went to Verizon, got it put on an "Edge"? plan for like 60/mo (no contract, termination fees, etc etc,cause I had the phone.)
Went to ATT, moved the line to my ATT account, got a 650$ credit, dropped 100$ for the 128gig iPhone 7. Turned off old phone line. As long as I dont cancel service in 30months (I think, dont remember the exact amt) phone ends up costing 100$. Plus the 20 bucks for indian dude phone, plus 2$ or whatever for 1 day of Verizon service.
Gimmick worked. (Requires direct TV, which I have in my name, at my dad's house).

Anybody know of a quality of micro USB cable? I swear I used to have no problem but I've gone through like 12 of these fucking things in the last 4 months. Really starting to piss me off.

I want USB C on everything now that I've used it on my Pixel. Not having to deal with 4 dimensional USB A/B is fantastic. I've had the Pixel since launch and it shows no signs of the plug loosening at all.

No problems here on Usb-C on a Nexus 5x for over a year. On regular usb connection you should have a 50% chance of plugging it in correctly you somehow I turned it into a 90% failure rate. USB C saves me around 5 minutes everyday since I can't fuck up plugging it in.

Can't get mother in law to cancel our lines on Verizon. Never again am I joining a family plan. They want us to stay for their new plan because it saves them money.
If we switch to project fi can I just hijack my phone number and take it or does it actually have to be cancelled?

The USB C jack on my Nexus 6P is getting pretty loose after a year. I might be a little harder on my phones than most people and I'm always getting dirt and lint in it but it's getting to the point where I can't charge it on the road because the plug vibrates out.

I think the owner of the account has to be the one to approve it but I'm not 100% on that. I know I've made changes to an account that I share with my parents with Verizon but that was just adding service.

Not quite sure if Verizon is different, but porting my number over to Fi required that I give Fi the login and password to my straight talk account.

It's no surprise really. Look how much Apple shit costs and the shitty people that pay for it.
