    More adware

    I have installed an ad blocker app that seems to help my phone. It's not 100%, but does a decent job. The ad blocker app that I use is Blokada and can be downloaded from the "f droid" app store. I'm not sure if that is what you are asking for, or, if it will even help you.

    I'm on an unlimited "government" plan. At the end of this month, Verizon is taking away our unlimited if we (I have 4 lines on it) change our plan or do an upgrade. 😕😠 Sent from my XT1254 using Tapatalk
