After 7+ years with a flip phone. I am finally coming into the 21st century with a smart phone, I'm getting a Samsung galaxy phone for only 1 dollar refurbished. I don't recall what model it is though.
But ya....even though I only got 1 person I talk to. It'd be nice to finally have a camera I can use, and gps. Other than that, those are my main uses most likely. Half the time I'll have it off since I spend most of my time at home.

You'll love having a smartphone. You can upload pictures to Facebook, videos to YouTube, etc. It's great.

Obviously had to get a new contract. And yes a 40$ "fee" was part of it. Which doesn't really count towards the phone it self. So I guess in a technical sense I payed 41$ for it? lol.....even though it was a fee and not the actual price. Well the new contract I understood because I had my old phone for over I don't even know exactly, roughly between 6 and 8 years....I don't even remember what year I originally got it. So ya typical at&t forcing contracts, ya I couldn't find any deal that didnt have a contract. I understand there is phone companies that exist that don't require contracts but they are not in my area unfortunately.

Alrighty that is what I was thinking. Lol. Still, less than what it would have costed on it's own. $41 as opposed to the multiple hundred dollars Galaxy phones typically cost is still a lot better of a price XD Most companies try and get people into contracts. I work for a phone company so I know all too well about that. Out of the dozens of packages I sell, only 2 come without a contract... So yeah, companies really love to get people into contracts xP In the end they profit off of the contract, even though you get the phone for such a low price.

But congrats on getting a new phone and hopefully you enjoy it!

i too rarely use my phone but i'd never sign up for a contract. theres this free phone service called freedompop which i've been thinking about (you only pay for the phone) but lots of negative comments about the company.

but still free (monthly quota) talk/text/web? talk is supposedly pretty unreliable but i think i'd be alright with it
