Verizon: we can give a certified refurbished G2

Me: *walking out of store*


Certified refurbished is USED! And junk.

A shoot fired at the mall yesterday tells me I need to get off my butt and get something for conceal carry.

A good place to visit to discuss that would be here:

Phases gun site! Check it out

I found that once by accident and forgot about until you posted it.

I just spent a lot of time with LG g3. I was at the store. I have to admit my first impressions we're a little harsh some kind of phone. Is back in the running

 

[breadnatty08]

Steven, I hope for your sake it doesn't have the botched screen issue like the G2 has. Still deciding if I want to try and get a warranty claim on mine and only have a couple months left until it's out of warranty. Problem is, unless they can swap it on the spot, I'm kind of SOL since both the S3 and Gnex are close to being paperweights (only backups I have).

All they offered me was a used phone.

It is my understanding that the current policy is is that if your phone is under 1 year old they will swap it out new song. It is my understanding that you to be to do it at the store or they will send you a phone then you return the bad one postage paid.

If that's true then my 2 stores have no idea what they are doing.

 

[breadnatty08]

Might look into it tomorrow then.

How does this surprise you again?

 

[halon]

Yeah yeah. I don't know why I act like I'm surprised with anything they do?

Looks like it's finally time to just give up on unlimited data.
Verizon will soon throttle LTE data: here's what you need to know | The Verge
May see if a tiered plan is cheaper cause between the two of us, we may use 3Gb of data a month max.

I've alread dealt with this in another thread. People need to realize it isn't throttling like other carriers. It has specific triggers that are based on real world criteria instead of arbitrary use x you get slowed to z. From the article:

Again, this policy only applies in areas where the network is seeing heavy demand. You might be throttled in one town and experience regular, fast speeds in the next. See? We told you it wasn't straightforward.

So you need to be in the top 5% (4.7GB currently) and connected to a tower that is busy.

Here is Verizon's take on it, also from your article.

"The vast majority of data customers will not see any impact from Verizon Wireless

 

[jhawkkw]

It could end up being much to do about nothing, or it could be very real. In a lot of areas, Verizon towers are always extremely congested and this might trigger this as if it is a billing cycle throttle. Only time will tell.

 

[halon]

No more DPP. Now throttling unlimited in 4G. Next step is just taking it away from people because...."there are not enough people with the unlimited data plan to justify keeping it part of the company plans."

 

[breadnatty08]

Pup, the only qualifiers we're under is unlimited data and we live in a modest size city (no idea how clogged it is here). But, I think it's just another step and if we could save some money by going with a 4Gb plan, we may consider it.

 

[Steven58]

I'm not giving my unlimited up until thru force me to.

 

[Mikestony]

I'm not giving my unlimited up until thru force me to.

But you're a Jedi... Stronger than the force are you!

 

[Steven58]

you got that right, mike.

 

[wyndslash]

I get the impression that perhaps there is too much abuse of it. Different mindset, I guess.

Not too much. Verizon has said it's only a small amount of folks who are going through loads of data since they're often replacing their home broadband with it through tethering. If they're not doing that, I've no idea how people can go 5Gb+ a month with just their phone. There's only so many videos you can stream, right?

So people who have unlimited can't use as much as they want?

Someone here managed to download 3tb worth of media. Needless to say he received a phone call from his carrier soon

Wow that's a lot.
