After years of loyal service to T-Mobile I finally decided that enough was enough as their phones are very limited in what brands they carry and my plan was costing me almost $200.00 a month. My parents were still using a non-Smartphone with Zero features and no Data plan whatsoever so the pricing was extraordinary. I already had Verizon for all my home services and with that I was able to get a discounted plan that only costs $130.00 a month with unlimited talk and text and 4GB of data. This also included a new iPhone 4S for my parents and a for myself the new Samsung Galaxy S3 making for a much better service plan and better phones for all.

Today I unbox and give the full user experience of getting the phone, unboxing it and then setting it up and activating it. I ported my old number and was up and going in about 5 minutes. The Samsung Galaxy S3 comes with everything you need to get going and with a fully charged battery so you can be up and going as soon as you set the phone up. In other countries this phone is available with a Quad Core processor, but lacks the full LTE capabilities of the 1.5 Dual Core Edition sold in the USA. I had to obviously sigh a 2-Year contract, but that is to be expected with any new plan nowadays. The total cost for both phones and activation and both numbers being ported over came to just One dollar over $400.00, but the plans price point will balance this cost in just a few short months.
