The lightning ports are such garbage for that reason.  I was bitching about how my phone wasn't charging right and a co-worker suggested giving it a good cleaning, fixed it right up.  Now I do it about once a month.

They really are. That's a good suggestion, I'll do that. I was having issues charging it for over a month, I had to have the cord at odd angles and things, but it stopped yesterday. I'm glad it just needed cleaned. It looks like a pain to replace yourself, and it was $60 at a store down the road.

 

I need a new phone soon anyway, my 5c has been acting up a lot more lately.

I went through that for months, had to prop the phone up and have it's weight on the cable to get it to charge.  Pain in the ass, haha

Same. It is so nice to not have to prop it up anymore. Now to find an affordable plan... since my parents want me off theirs, even though my bill is the cheapest.

Had another trip to the ER for my stomach Tuesday, threw up bile nonstop for 2 hours so I drove myself to the ER, they got me some liquids and painkillers. Been out of sorts the last couple days, just woke up from a 13 hour "nap" and feeling better though. Didn't miss my medication, so I can't pinpoint the cause I think it might have been food poisoning. Today my store opens at a new location, really excited. Bigger space, listening room for proper equipment demos, and higher traffic area. I feel bad I missed the last 2 days setting it up, but it was beyond my control.

That sucks... at least you seem to be on the mend.

I've been using Straight Talk for the past 4-5 years and been real happy with it.  $55 a month for unlimited everything (throttle data after 25GB I think).  Only issue is the don't offer teathering.  You do have to supply your own device, but when I mathed it out initially, it was still cheaper long term if you get a new phone every two years.

That's never fun, glad you're feeling better.

I barely use a gig a month, but if I had unlimited, I'm sure I'd use more. Which network/networks does Straight Talk use? I really want off Verizon, even though everything is good but the cost.

I'm on AT&T towers, but they do have an option for Verizon towers I believe.  My service has been good everywhere I've been.

Same, have not really been around much.

It does look like they do, so might need to make the switch. Not sure how it is coming from a family plan though... don't want to give my account info for everyone, just to port my number.

Day one was a success, they put my pickup to use hauling odds and ends from the old store and running errands but I won't complain getting paid either way and I got to spend the first half of the day with extra breaks. I think we actually turned a profit, some regulars showed their support, spent the other half organizing. It's going to take awhile to whip the new spot into shape, but I'm looking forward to the days passing with busy work and a new crop of clientele
