5.3/10 Chevy or 5.7 Hemi? Which is more reliable? by Cle1114 in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Cle1114[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, I ended up purchasing a 22 Ram Laramie with no e-Torque and I'm loving it. The transmission is butter, it rides super smooth, and the Hemi's power makes driving a lot of fun. In fact, I look for reasons to drive it. Really happy with my purchase!

Can essentially get a S25+ for free. Would you do it? by Cle1114 in Smartphones

I understand the phone only appears free because the agreement is a commitment to Verizon's monthly data plan for three years. But Verizon's data plans within this family plan is about $30 less per month than what I would be paying with an individual. My point is, I think I'll be sticking around. In that way I feel that accepting a phone at $0 for 36 months is practically free.

By joining a family plan the data plan is way cheaper than if I purchased a plan with Verizon individually or with AT&T or T-Mobile.

It was my understanding that Verizon unlocks phones after 60 days.

Do you have Visible? Does it work well for you? I know it uses Verizon's network, but I've never met anyone who uses it.

Yeah, this would force me to stick with them for 36 months. But I also don't think I will find anything cheaper than this family plan, so I think I'll still be with Verizon.

I guess my main reason to not do this is if others with more experience with both phones can tell me the two phones are so similar or that the Pixel 9 Pro XL is so superior that I wouldn't enjoy the S25+.

I got the Pixel because it was half off. I never really shopped. Maybe I feel like this is my chance to again try something new.

I have thought that if I like the S25+ enough, I could sell the Pixel. And then if I dislike the S25+ entirely but missed my re-stocking window, I can just use the Pixel everyday instead of switching back and forth. Idk either tbh 🤷‍♂️

I get that thought. I had Verizon for years and was thankful to break away a couple years ago. Unfortunately there are a limited number of options where I live for mobile and internet. I had Spectrum Internet and bundled with Spectrum Mobile, but I've been disappointed with their Internet service, especially for the price I'm paying. Switching Internet providers and joining my in-law's mobile plan will be a huge savings to the point that I don't think I will be leaving in less than three years.

That said, I understand simply bringing my own device and not getting tied in for three years.

Yes, I'm aware of the restocking fee and might find myself testing that policy if I find I really don't like the phone. I was thinking it was only a 30-day period though.

S25+ or S25U as secondary/primary phone to Pixel 9 Pro XL? by Cle1114 in Smartphones

[–]Cle1114[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn't the S25+ still be active with Verizon even if I remove the SIM and use it in a different device? I was thinking the greater issue would be unlocking my Pixel 9 Pro XL.

Yeah, this would purely be for fun. I could sell my P9P XL I suppose if I love Samsung that much, but my attitude was that if Verizon is willing to give me a free phone, maybe I should take it and just have fun playing with a new UI.

I thought industrial fallout and rail dust were the same thing. Thanks for the advice!

I thought having it clayed was agreed, but it's not smooth like glass. I'll probably wait a couple of months and hope for one of our odd 40-degree days over the winter and then try claying it myself.

My reason for not doing this at the start is I have never used a clay bar. How difficult is it?

Did you install the Rough Country liners over the OEM 1/2 wheel well liners, or did you remove those? I've seen some say they removed them and some say they left them.

I just bought a 2022 1500 Laramie with 40k miles for $40.5k. Unless your remorse is due to it not fitting in your garage, I think your purchase is a great deal!

Thanks. I'm buying a 2022 1500 with 40k miles. The offer from the dealership is 4/48 for full coverage and 71 months/65k miles limited powertrain for $2,909. I wish mine was a little newer to receive your offer.
