    Don't Kill Wireless Charging!

    Wireless charging is the best thing they have come out with in a while. I wish they still had some of the other things they have moved away from such as the external storage. If they don't want to use external storage then give us a choice up to 256 gb for the same price as buying the same...

    Dissatisfied with Verizon on S7 Edge issues.

    Re: Considering the S7, but? I purchased my S7E on Swappa,Com from a person who was an apple fan boy. He had ordered 2 S7E's and his wife put hers in service and loved it but I guess this guy decided S7E was not performing as his iphone 6 and he just put his SIM back in his iphone and then...

    time to upgrade?

    I have the S4 and waiting on the S5 32 gb internal memory phone to be released on VZW. I had to wait on the S4 32 gb internal memory. I have read a few complaints about the battery life of the S5 but I have also heard the S5 had good battery life. I heard the same thing when I was waiting on...

    For those on verizon... Data plan questions.

    I buy my phones from swappa.com. I usually pay less than VZW and no tax. I switch them myself and all is well. I have also purchase phones from EBAY just be cautious and check out the EBAY seller well. Swappa.com is the easiest in my opinion. Don't deal with VZW unless it is a last resort...

    How long should glass screen protectors last?

    The Zagg brand is a nice screen protector but has a somewhat different feel to it than the normal screen protector and took me a little bit of getting used to it. I always use screen protectors on my phones as I change phones often and usually sell my old phones and a scratch on the screen...

    5 Reasons To Buy The Z2.

    Re: Sony Xperia Z2 the perfect smartphone? Yes, if no 32 gb would make it a useless phone to me. I got to have at least 32 gb internal storage with an SD slot for at least 128 gb. I would like to have 64 gb internal but 32 gb will suffice. I have a full 64 gb sd card in my phone now but I am...

    Mobile Hot Spot Trigger

    Usually it would be on a windows phone which may or may not be activated on your account. I use to see that on my son's HTC 8 and it provided him a way to turn on/off "Hot Spot" when he wanted to activate wifi for one reason or another. Again this may be on your account for some other reason...

    Kit Kat sucks

    No one ever does but it is something we have to do at times if we want a phone that works correct hopefully. Sorry for your misfortune with the update. I was one of the luck ones who came through it OK.

    Do I need to remove the SIM card before I sell my phone?

    Assumption of liability of a phone is very different that outright selling a phone IMHO. You are correct in going to a VZW store and getting hassled, the less you frequent a VZW store the better off you are in my opinion. I have learned to buy my phones somewhere else like an individual or EBAY...

    Contract question

    I have an RV and many of the RV parks I stay in either have bad wifi or they charge extra if they have good wifi. I have the unlimited data and my wife and I just use that off my S4. I am leaving for San Antonio, TX next month and the RV park I am going to stay in down there charges extra for...

    Swappa

    Bought a couple phones there and was a good experience much better price than any phone stores I have been in lately. No tech support but you won't get good tech support from the phone stores either and pay more for your phone. Sold 3 phones and a tablet and was a good experience. All sold in...

    Contract question

    Do not upgrade your phone subsidized prices as it will require you to change your plan. Buy your phone from swappa.com There is somewhat of a catch to upgrade your phone through BB or anywhere else. I don't know what your data usage is but UDP is worth $$$ and someone will pay you for it. It...

    Do I need to remove the SIM card before I sell my phone?

    SIM = Subscriber Information Module Yes remove your SIM I would never let a SIM go to new owner of my old phone and I always make sure I do a factory reset on my phone and if you let an sd card go be sure you reformat the sd card.
