No idea what she paid for it, but it works like new. Pretty solid. All I had to do was go to the Verizon store and pay $10 or $15 bucks for a micro sim card since my old one didn't fit.
Working awesome. Web pages load asap, apps load, and the battery life is 10X what my old S5 was. Now I'm good for another decade! Lol
I am still rocking the S5 ZFG ..... recently cracked the screen but I have a back up S5 that was my daughters......debating whether to go with something with a bigger screen 
Dude for that money get a pixel 3a. Mine has been phenomenal
I personally don't really like the bigger screen of the 8+. I don't hate it, but the tallness of it kinda irks me at the wrong times. Getting it out of my pocket while driving sucks. Using it with one hand is no fun. This is really just a first world problem since it's the only real quirk I have with it. I was totally happy with my beat up S5. When I realized that I really only used it for a handful of things then I learned to just put up with the slowness and shit. Plus I could ignore the wife's 7 in a row texts and just say my phone sucks, I didn't get those back to back to back to back messages hun.Irish wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 4:01 pmAcid666 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 3:59 pm Oh forgot to update this.

Re the bolded, did Verizon transfer your data from the old to the new sim card for you?Acid666 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 3:59 pm Oh forgot to update this. Wife got me a jailbroken S8+.

All the sim card did was let me keep my same number on the new phone. No data. Surprisingly the Samsung/Google backup synced and replaced a metric shit ton of my apps and settings. I was kind of shocked at how easy the transition was. I only had to tweak a handful of things once I got it up and runningwap wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 6:22 pmRe the bolded, did Verizon transfer your data from the old to the new sim card for you?Acid666 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 3:59 pm Oh forgot to update this.

The pixel is such an ugly phone though.[user not found] wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2019 12:55 pmLatest and greatest pixel will always have the best cameras.09vdubgti wrote: ↑Sun Aug 18, 2019 12:01 am I recently got myself the OnePlus 7 Pro, switched over from iPhone. The phone itself is gorgeous I got it in nebula blue, and the display is insanely awesome. However, its still running on android, and its kinda glitchy. Maybe because I got too used to use my iPhone I have to get fully used to android. They boasted about the three camera set up with a 48 megapixel main camera. Not as good as my iPhone 7 plus though, they have lots of work to still do in their camera dept.
In terms of service, I used to love T-Mobile. It was inexpensive, and anytime I had an issue I always got excellent service. Now their towers are so congested at times my phone loses signal and or data. When I go to call Tmo, now I get an overseas call center. I had to complain over and over again because I wasn't getting signal at my own home. They wanted me to pay for the signal booster, I told them no. Back and forth they finally sent me their home signal booster, service is a bit better but still annoying. I know T-Mobile does "test drives" where they send you an iPhone and two weeks to try the service, might be something to look into if any of you are looking to try a new carrier.

Not really much to give. The shit was automatic and I barely did anything.Irish wrote: ↑Fri Sep 13, 2019 4:29 pmI am going to migrate one phone to another this weekend.... please give me the cliffnotes if you don't mind.....Acid666 wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 6:45 pm

how the pimply teenager in the Verizon store will handle it.I had to go through this just after x mas If the AT&T store is any benchmark, It's likely gonna cost you $5-10 and about 30-60 minutes of your time
