Iphone illiterate

All kinds of schemes going on for fone plans in the USA.

I was on Metropcs. Where I got unlimited data and minutes as long as I was in a metro coverage area in the USA to anywhere in the USA.

60/month is their top plan. You pay for your own fone. They don’t have the iphone , but if you own an iphone you could join their network, as they just got bought out by TMobile.

TMobile meantime has a scheme where you get an iphone 5s for 22 bucks/month installment for 24 months. No contract but if you stop the plan, you must pay the remainder of the fone cost. The fone itself is bout 650/month plus tax.

I’ve been using LG and Android with Metro for a few years.

Recently got the wife’s Iphone 5S, while she upgraded to the Iphone 6 (which is 27/month installment plan for 24 months, with about 70 to start for the sales tax).

We ended up with her new iphone 6 and me with my wifes ex iphone 5 (which is 18 months old now) together for bout 180 dollars a month. Including unlimited data and minutes calling from anywhere in the USA to anywhere in the USA. 15 bucks extra got her unlimited talk to cellfone and landlines in INdonesia . And including paying 22/month for the iphone 5s and 27/month for the 6.
too. So all in all a sweet deal.

Now to my point. It is a different methodology iphone vs android. Similar functions but just a different way to get things done.

I am getting used to it now and starting to like it now, though it is quite not the same as an android .

Only thing is the iphone 5 is pretty small and the metal case seems slippery. Should’ve saved a hundski and gotten the iphone 5C instead. Which is really the iphone 5 with a plastic case. The plastic case is probably less slippery.

Instead one is forced to get a plastic case and make the iphone lose some of its slimness and cool factor.

I ordered a leather case online that I am hoping will be nicer then a plastic case

What is your viewpoint? Iphone or Android methodology?

Android.

Tommy, would you like a cute 100% Taiwanese case? The only thing I like about Apple is that you can get all these cool cases. How about some authentic blue slippers shaped cover as your phone case? Very ergonomic, too.

I’m iphone illiterate and android illiterate. I love having a stupid phone that only really calls people and can be called, sends and receives messages and wakes me up with no worries about plans other than my own.

As for androids, I’m more of an R2-D2 fan.

I used to be like that, swear by “dumb” fones. But honestly, once you get a “smart” fone , you realize how useful it can be :slight_smile:
