Correct. SIMPLE Mobile is a T-Mobile MVNO re-seller.

The term MVNO is explained here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mobile...twork_operator

In general, you save money by using a MVNO. Often, a lot of money. However, a lot depends on your usage pattern and which MVNO you use. My wife uses Tracfone, which is owned by the same group/person* as Simple Mobile. Tracfone is good if you don't use your phone a lot.

I use a phone I got from my employer, since I am, more or less, always on call. But if I didn't have that, I would also be likely to use T-Mobile, or, maybe, AT&T, via a MVNO.

Barbara1955, howardforums.com has plenty of discussions about phones and phone plans if you want more information. I am not a member but I did some reading there before I bought my most recent phone and plan. As with any forum, there are some very knowledgeable people and some idiots posting there, but you can probably figure out the difference

Is anyone planning on going out in the morning to brave the crowds? I gave that up several years ago. Now it's strictly online for me.

Online only for me, too. At least on Good Friday.

I drove by the malls last night on my way home from Thanksgiving and I was appalled; the parking lots were at capacity. Way to ruin what used to be a nice holiday. And I blame the shoppers more than the retailers; if people stayed home, the stores would stay closed. There's no reason why all that commerce couldn't start at a reasonable hour today instead of taking over a holiday.

No Black Friday shopping for me. I did buy one thing yesterday on Amazon, when my son saw the video game he wants show up for $40, which is cheaper than Walmart and other stores had in their papers.

OMG, we went out to Chinese. It is behind the mall. The only 5 things opened there were Penney's, Furrs,(restaurant), Golden Corral, movie theater and Buffet King. Penney's lot was jam packed by all three of their outside doors. Furrs had people lined up around the inside perimeter of that section of the mall. Golden Corral (separate building) had people lined up in the parking lot. (This was at 2 in the afternoon. ) Buffet King and the movie theater were not bad. We didn't drive by the big cinema. Oh I forgot the TV station had cars.
The mall proper was closed.
Now one grocery store was open from 6 am to 2pm. It was packed when we drove by around 11.
Big Lots didn't hardly have a person, but their sale wasn't that great. Also they are not in the big shopping district.
Oh and Whataburger was slammed.

I thought about it since Walmart had the same deal and I use Straight talk but I am not in any hurry.

I didn't buy anything for Black Friday. I did last week or week before buy my mom a wine stopper and my brother is supposed to be getting her the matching corkscrew. Wish.com.
