I have now spent over 7 hours over 2 days trying to upgrade my phone with Verizon. I would like to go elsewhere. Is T Mobile good? I have read their - jnine Oct 22, 16:27 19
- T-Mobile was terrible for me, but that's because their coverage here is absolute crap. Your mileage may vary. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 17:08 2
  - When did you last try? I've heard that TMobile is way better now. Note that I can never have TMobile here because we still have analog towers some - Pocket Jones Oct 22, 17:15 1
    - It's been a few years, but I have no reason to chance it and go back. - Cuzzin Todd Oct 22, 17:19
- Wellllllll... we spent a LOT of time with T-Mobile trying to do the same. - Dark Callisto Oct 22, 16:42 15
  - I had heard really good things about their service so I guess it's not true. Verizon placed an order for an upgrade today, without my consent. We were - jnine Oct 22, 16:48 14
    - Maybe move to ab MVNO that resells Verizon? Buy a phone outright and activate on the MVNO? -- nm - Pocket Jones Oct 22, 17:12 5

        I thought that most carriers now didn't offer discounts on phones, just payment plans for them. is this not true? - amanda jeans Oct 22, 17:57 1
        
        Payment plans, but $300-650 off the regular price and then they force a payment plan so you don't leave for another provider. -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 18:06

      - How is the 5G coverage? Do you notice a difference? -- nm* - jnine Oct 22, 17:05 4
        
        My current phone is kind of old and not 5G so I can't answer that. Sorry. -- nm - pmb Oct 22, 17:14 3
        
        Thanks. Mine is really old and isn't going to support some of my apps anymore. It's also cracked and crashing. I guess that means it's time. -- nm - jnine Oct 22, 17:20 2
        
        Can you just to like best buy and buy am unlocked phones? That's basically what I do. If you are upgrading to 5G call Verizon and ask them to send yoj - Pocket Jones Oct 22, 17:23 1
        
        You can't just go to Verizon stores in LA County right now without an appointment set up for a specific service and there's a pretty long wait time - jnine Oct 22, 17:35

Here is a 1,200lb pumpkin being dropped 100ft into a pool. -- (link) - Ender Oct 22, 14:17 [youtube] 3

    - Had a camera person died in a car accident during the 1 hour commute from set after working multiple 16 hour days in a row, it wouldn't make the news. -- nm - Dano Oct 22, 15:11

  - oh, the whole thing sounds incredibly bad. this is going to get very ugly. -- nm - Andie Oct 22, 14:09
While I'm not surprised at the depths people will sink to, it's still pretty wild to see people thinking that Baldwin somehow lost it on set or - Reagen Oct 22, 13:56 4
- I could come up with some dumb theories about it (and have already dismissed one that is much too CSI-like), but ... - Beryllium Oct 22, 14:29
