The missus and I went to get a replacement cell phone,because she dropped hers on a concrete floor and it shattered.We had twin LG VX8300 phones.I love this phone because it is reliable and takes pretty good pics for a celly.We only use our phones for calls,text,and the occasional pic.The good thing is, her employeer has a contract with Verizon and she gets a 19% discount on our bill,accessories are 25% off ,bundle packages are 50% off,plus we get a discount for keeping our bill payed up and payed on time.Sooooo,instead of replacing her phone and battery at a cost of $90(no discount on replacement phones,only new),we got a bundle package for $105.This is what we got, a G'zOne Boulder with military specs,case,extra battery,8GB SD micro memory card,car charger,docking charger,extra battery,and pig tail for using a headset or ear buds when listening to music.I'm sure that I am forgetting something.Anyway.To top things off we didn't pay anything for it when we got it.Because we pay our bill on time every month,they add it to our monthly bill.They reviewed our plan and got us a discount because our plan is an old one.This means that even with the monthly payment for the bundled phone package and our discounted service plan we are saving roughly $22 a month for the next year.After that, the phone package will be paid off and our bill will go down another $6 or $7.Now I'm thinking of getting the same deal since we share the same phone plan.I have 3 weeks to play with her phone and decide if I want to upgrade,before my contract has to be renewed.I rode out my old contract and canceled my service.Then I got add to hers 3 weeks after she got her contract.That's why there's a 3 week period between our contracts.We have the nation wide family plan with unlimited text and 700 shared minutes.Man we got a steal of a deal in my opinion.
These phones retail for $229.
