ALast week when I pulled out my flip phone, I was laughed to scorn by all at my supper table. To which, one of the old boys said, "Hey Otto (I've been able to spell my name front and backwards since I was about 3), I'll give you my old iPhone 5." So boys, if he doesn't forget, I'll be moving on up in the phone world!

Oh, it's a Verizon one he said. But I want to use it in TMobile, hope I can, if not, I'll go with Straight Talk.

Wanted y'all boys to be first to know!

Welcome to the iPhone Borg.. you will be assimilated...

You should be able to use it on TMobile, but you won't get LTE because they use different bands, IIRC.
You could go with Page Plus or Selectel, Verizon MVNOs that would give you Verizon service and coverage and let you get LTE. I would check out the free Selectel activation through [www.prepayrefill.com]

With Selectel, you get Verizon postpaid coverage for the prepaid price. Page Plus and Straight Talk have prepaid coverage and you get charged for roaming.

Glad you are moving up in the cell phone world!

Thanks all! I've learned that with my iPad (if y'all think I look bad pulling out flip phone, you should see me walking around with my iPad!), LTE is a must have. Ethyl has great service with TMobile, so that's what I'm was hoping for. Maybe I'll have to use a Verizon MVNO.

Right on, billb, I'll be the one across the table staring and clicking at my iPhone! I don't like to talk anyway.

My iPhone 5 is also a hand-me-down and works great on iOS9. You're gonna love it!

Gene---- you can trade it in with Tmobile and get a 6s.... just saying... If you're going to go , go all the way !

You are gonna hate it, screen is too small.

No wait, its too big.
