After waiting patiently for the right deal, yesterday I added my line back to our T-Mobile Family plan. I had had to leave T-Mo because I had no signal at work, but since I'm now working from home, I'm back. All I was waiting for and expecting was a free add-a-line with bill credits, figuring I'd just buy a phone; either an SE or 12 Mini. Then she asked if needed a phone and mentioned i could get a free iPhone SE 2020 (after bill credits). That kind of made my "which phone" decision for me. That settled, I would have been fine with the 64GB model but she said I could get the 128 or 256 if i wanted, the only difference being that a $49.99 deposit would show on the bill and then get credited back. So I figured what the hell, I might as well go for the 256. She said they'd ship it free and I could expect it Wednesday.
Well, I returned from my nice little ride today to see a box sitting on our front step right out in the open. Sure enough, it was the phone. As I said in the subject line, it's times like these I'm especially grateful we live in a safe neighborhood in suburbia.
Anyway, my little project tonight is the setup. I may be chiming in with questions if it doesn't go as expected. I'll have to get used to a bigger sized phone, but my eyes will appreciate it even if my hands don't. And I'm betting I won't even have to consider another new phone for at least another five years.
