I bought a note 9 as a spare to my note 8, as from what I've heard its basically an upgraded 8(and headphone jack). It helped that I caught it on sale, an unlocked 512 version. I want to use it after my 8 dies beyond repair or reasonable cost to repair.
So first I see here, anywhere from a month to years ago, saying that wifi calling and video calling does work on unlocked versions on verizon, but then down the same question there are responses that say it doesn't. Wifi calling is kinda a big deal as our house has steel siding and standing in the yard you only get a bar, if that. I apologize if this just adds to the confusion of that topic or is against the rules. For what its worth, Verizon says it wont work.
Second is how should I store the note 9 for hopefully 3 or more years? I bought the note 9 as a spare as stated before (bought the unlocked version as I wanted the 512 GB of storage too, as I am already maxed out on my note 8 at 64 and 256)but when the time comes to put it to work, I dont exactly want to have to replace the battery. What do I aim for? Charge it to 80% every 6 months?
Third I've read on some sites that an update messes up the screen or something and Samsung's response is to send it to them? Is this where I take advantage of the place where I bought it from(B&H) return policy and update it and hope for the best?
Forth when I was confirming with Verizon that it would work on their networks, they said most of their apps would have issues or not work. I would assume someone has found a work around? I only use the backup for contacts and the message+ I think.
I apologize for the long post and questions that have been asked, but when you search and pick one that says yes, then go to the next that says no then pick another that says yes at the top then half ways down says no...its kinda confusing with the conflicting answers.
Thank you.
