Don’t worry. Most all the replacement phones are tied to Google. That’ll fix things! /s
I bought a couple 4G phones at large retailer with operations in most U.S. cities a few years ago - $8.92 each.
And I got some from an “electronics store”. They were marked down to $60. EXCEPT that I happened to be there on Black Friday (which I usually avoid like the plague - rare moment actually had a little money). $20. So I got three because I had already budgeted $60.
HUGE markdowns from their original prices.
Gee, what a coincidence. They all require that you sign up for Google to get the maximum use out of the phone.
How bow dat.
Have you seen the movie The Creepy Line? It’s on Prime. Google / Chrome / Android. All surveillance all the time.
