Yes, all you guys - I intend to visit the T-Mobile store. I'd only buy from my service provider for the reasons stated, AND from experiences in the past ...
I was looking for info here, to make sure I make no mistakes. I'm not very tech smart. And, ya'll reinforced my idea to buy from T-Mobile. I do have a free line available, so will use it, get a different number, and leave the SPAM intrusions on the old phone. I have two lines, but only use one at the moment. I can buy a phone, use that line, and my bill will not change. We have unlimited data, text, and voice on it ... :) thx for assistance. M44
