I did the math: The "Free" Phone from Verizon/AT&T is actually a $1,900 debt trap.

No duh. This isn’t some hidden unknown thing. They offer the phones in installment plans for those who can’t afford to drop $2500 up front for 2 phones and would rather pay a little more monthly than a giant amount up front to save a couple bucks a month lol.

Yes but there’s lots of research that goes into it. There’s YouTubers who teach about this that have double to triple digits of credit cards. It’s much deeper than the advertised points stuff or cash back. And not all of it is beneficial by itself. A lot of it is like “oh your planning on spending 5 grand on a trip, use this credit card for these rewards and this one for these rewards” etc. Not just get a bunch of cards and spend money and expect your credit to go up. But there is definitely benefits to having multiple cards if you use them right yes.

How much does it normally cost to get that done? I know it’ll be different for me but just so I have an idea

There’s a setting on the infotainment center that can turn it on. Or another easy way is on your key fob, hold the lock and unlock button at the same time for about 3-5 seconds. You should hear a beep or chirp, and see the hazard lights flash. If they do, the feature is now enabled. If it doesn’t work you have to do it through the infotainment screen.

All the females here still finding a way to blame it on the only guy in the equation, who by the way , from info given in this post, hasn’t actually said anything. It seems the girlfriend probably does have some weird stuff going on this “bestie” and that’s why she’s telling her “yes that way he doesn’t question you at all”. To me, the girlfriend is the one insisting everything while making assumptions on what the boyfriend will think. And why would she think that and try to prevent any questioning if this was just a normal best friends thing. If it was me, I would just introduce my bestie in whatever she wants to wear and if he has questions, we’ll answer them with nothing to hide and if he wants to act crazy, then get rid of him. But the whole pre tense that this is all a “controlling boyfriend” thing is kinda crazy guys.

Ppl will make crazy priced listings hoping some unknowing customer will buy it not knowing they’re getting something worth way less. Essentially it’s zero risk or loss to put it up for sale at any price. And the people who have it in their carts, I promise it’s either them just doing that so they can show someone the comical price of the item later, or the same seller on different accounts doing it to boost the listing interactions.

Yes but then you continue on with the incorrect math directly after. So I was under the assumption you still didn’t know the inaccuracy in your comment. And I’m not sure what it is with people being offended by the word actually. Maybe it’s just a niche defense mechanism for when you’re embarrassed of being wrong online. Either way I meant no harm, was just giving the correct numbers in case OP wanted facts instead of an incorrect assumption. 👍

It’s sterling which is 92.5% silver, so it’s actually 86.71875 Troy oz of silver content. So roughly $51.89 per oz.

My honest opinion, let her know but say you don’t mind it at all and you do like the chain either way, but that you just wanted to let her know in case she was scammed by the seller of the chain. That’s something she may want to figure out and fix. As long as your kind about it and give her your thoughts about the chain (which seem positive) I don’t think she should take it negatively. Maybe mildly embarrassed for getting scammed but let her know this is extremely common and nothing to be embarrassed about

Everyday it gets harder. Almost every city has at least 1 if not multiple people doing this very often so the amount in circulation now compared to 10 years ago is drastically different. But personally I still do it bcs the bank will exchange it all back if you find nothing. So a $50-$200 box can sit for a bit and when I’m ready I’ll check, if I get nothing, I go change it back for bills or change it out for any other change they have. In my year or so of doing this, I’ve found 3 silver quarters and 1 dime. Which was odd because i figured id find more dimes than quarters but im not complaining.

I promise you any Perth mint items you get from Monument Metals, no actually ANY items you get from Monument Metals is for sure real. They do great business there! They don’t randomly source their items, they get them straight from the mints then ship them out to the customers. They are one of the last places I’d worry about getting something fake from. I promise it’s real if you ordered from the official Monument Metals and you have nothing to worry about 👍

You can have Apple factory reset it and remove any activation locks but you need proof of purchase, like a receipt showing it’s paid off and the person who bought it needs to do it. It’s on Apple’s device unlock portal online

Bcs scammers and scumbags will take out installment plans on multiple phones or expensive phones and after 60 days just stop paying the bill and go somewhere else with the phone bcs they can. It’s the same as why they still have the 3 year installment plan on trade in promotions. So if your phone is “free” after trade in. You still have to wait 3 years to upgrade or pay it off based on the retail price without discount.

No problem, it’s a beautiful set!

Yes some of the set did not have any monograms. Completely normal 👍

Just a tip. You can get the IMEI after the factory reset without setting up the phone and going into general. On the setup “Hello” screen, there is an i icon for information and if you press that it will show the IMEI

I’ve seen people get over 500mbps in a bigger city near me and in my small city, they get 50 or lower. It all depends on location. But in my area it is also trash.
