Horrible Amazon customer service. (Now resolved.)

I have a Tracfone. If you buy online, you can add 365 days of service without having to add another card for $49 a year. So, I buy a $10, 30 days of service (90 minute) card and add the $49 for a year of activation and get 13 months of service for $59 plus tax. As long as I keep the service active, my minutes roll over and I hardly use my phone so I have a bunch.

As a fellow Dyslexic I can understand this as I've have done all those. I don't drive because of it. Getting the gas pedal mixed up with the brake pedal can be deadly. I've had several close calls before I made the decision that I was not only putting myself in danger but others on the road as well.

Then she offered me the Moto G5 Plus, 32gb, gold, priced at $230, for the $180 price I initially paid, and I agreed to that.

The new phone should be here tomorrow; I have two Moto E4 Plus phones to return; and I'll still have to deal with the folks at AT&T. So there's still plenty of hassle involved, but maybe the end is in sight.

Wonderful! I've been drooling over that one. Let me know how you like it. Motorola is my favorite brand because they are tough. Hubby has had a habit of throwing his phones in tantrums. The Moto E is one tough little phone but I'd like to upgrade as it's only 8GB.

I don't drive because I can't judge distances. Apparently I even duck going through underpasses.
Even walking in the house can be hazardous. I misjudged a door frame recently. It didn't move but my elbow did. It took about a month before it went back into place.

When the Moto G5 Plus was offered, I wish I'd asked the supervisor if she could bump it up to the 64gb version, considering all the hassle. She probably would have said no, but, on the other hand, there would have been no harm in asking if I'd thought quickly enough. But, alas, I didn't.

I've had Motorola phones since the Razr. I like that it's been very easy to transfer data from an old phone to a new one.

I bought one of these just a few months ago (64GB, though), and I have to say, I'm really liking it. There's really only one thing I miss from my previous phone (HTC Desire, which I actually liked except it was on 8GB), is that the HTC would go to sleep when you close the cover. If it's possible on the Moto G5 Plus, I haven't found it yet. I absolutely love being able to use the fingerprint for logging in, though.

Fingerprint scanners are great - I was sceptical when they first appeared on the iPhone, but now I love it! Can Android apps use the scanner to log into applications, as well as waking up the phone itself?

Yes, they can. I use it for different apps.

And now you get to say goodbye to the fingerprint scanner on the iPhone 8 series. Apple is great at removing features people actually use. They've dumped the headphone jack and now the fingerprint scanner. See they'll dump sll the physical buttons except maybe the power button. And who know what else Apple will find to dump.

This article suggests that Apple have moved the fingerprint scanner to the back of the iPhone 8, not ditched it. We'll know one way or another in a few weeks.

Like a lot of new Android phones

This used to drive me mad when I took my Mum somewhere new in the car (before the days of satnav), she'd navigate and would quite often do that, "turn left here" but point right. Fun days, though we always found our way eventually

That's the only reason I finally caved and got a new phone, I tend to keep mine for at least 3 years (always in a case, good screen protector, they truly remain like new without a scratch), and I refuse to spend more than $300 on any phone. My last phone was the Samsung Galaxy S4, which I absolutely loved, but as it only had 8GB, it was finally to the point that I couldn't even upgrade some apps because of lack of room. And it was still on KitKat, and it's only a matter of time before more apps stop supporting it. So it was time even though I'd have preferred to keep the S4.

I am loving the LG G5 though so far, especially the fingerprint scanner. Not every app can be unlocked with the scanner, but most good ones have that ability. The only minor annoyance for me is that it doesn't have all the sensors that the S4 had, but I'm not sure any phone does anymore. And this is stretching the limits for me in size, I definitely wouldn't want a phone any larger than this.

The universe apparently does not want me to have a new phone. After hanging around all day waiting for it--it was out for delivery, per USPS--I just got an alert that there is a mysterious "delivery delay" and delivery is scheduled for tomorrow. (My translation is that my regular very reliable letter carrier is probably on vacation this week, and the sub overlooked the package and discovered it at the bottom of the bag upon returning to the post office.)

At least this time the post office didn't give me the usual lie about having attempted delivery. But I really am beginning to feel that this whole process has been cursed.

At one time, when my store was located in the local mall, our regular mailman could not read well. I was told this by the people at the post office. After a few weeks, they medically retired him. Every day he worked, the stores in mall would have to take time to deliver the mail to the correct stores. I received packages meant for Zales, payroll checks for other stores and I had ordered 2 cases of wine and 2 cases of Champagne that ended up at Ruby Tuesday.
