I was going to say but had forgotten there for a minute. Here when they force you to upgrade they give you a free phone. It's not the latest thing on the market but it's one that supports the next grade up. I can't remember when they did it, if it was last year or the year before, though I think it was the year before, my phone was a 3g qwerty board phone, it was ancient if you ask my kids, they could never understand how someone could have the same phone for over a decade (lol). It finally caved, the charging port gave out and there was no way to replace it. They didn't even carry the part at the computer/phone repair shop I went to. I just happened to go to the dealer to get another phone and they said I was in luck because they were shutting off support to 3g the following April so that entitled me to a new phone. They gave me a choice of a flip top qwerty type phone or an Apple, I think it's a S7 or something like that. So not new new.

Well, that is good they have that - where you get a new phone - in new zealand, you have to pay for it - and everything is 2x the cost of what it is in the states. But its blackmail they are doing - about charging ports, they often go first - I think they do it on purpose, because they could make ports that don't fall apart like they do on all phones - but if they did, you probably would still have that phone.
Thanks!
Maybe they don't build them like they use to given my phone was over a decade old. Seems to be the norm now, everything you buy now breaks down faster, with most stuff it's probably all the plastic parts instead of using steal.
