Well, I set it up and have been using it for the last 3 days. Wrangler Heritage cargo pants have a left leg phone pocket that fits perfectly. Used it for doc check in yesterday. Very convenient. Also used it for gas fill-up with a low-limit CC in Google wallet. Also convenient.

I'll run the phone for a few weeks and see how it goes but right now I see little downside. As I type this, my house phone is down again for the 7th time this year. I do believe I may tell Frontier to stick it this time.

Sounds like you're having a good experience with it, wait until you find out how to read SF in the crapper with it in Wal-Mart!

Two apps I use almost daily are My Radar and Google Maps.

Interesting thing today. Had to sign into Medicare to pull some docs. Account was locked and had to be verified through LogIn.gov. Fine, I have a LogIn.gov account. Would not let me in without a photo of me and my driver's license. Only other way to verify was a visit to a "participating post office" Seems .gov is forcing smart phones as well.

Now comes the undaunting task of changing phone numbers everywhere.

You, Sir, are a brave man. NFW I sit on the throne in Walmart.

One thing that I use all the time that (speaking of Walmart) my three local Meijer stores also use is an app that lets you know where items are located.

Not that I don't need the exercise but some of the time I just want to get in and out and the various store apps come in handy, especially since I'm never in the same one.

Are split-peas in the soup isle? Nope.
The rice isle? Nope
Whip out the phone, select store loc. and type in the item and I get Row and Section.

And for GPS driving, I like Waze. It was the first one I tried.
