Inn's And Outs

The inn's and outs of Landline phones Cell phones Smart Phones PC's Laptops IphonesIpads Other Pads and Apples or MACS What have you got
The cheap burner cell phone is now getting out of date as 5G takes over 4G LTE is still here 3G is toast as my older 3G Tracfone could not be refilled
I have 4G LTE burner Trac Phone that still works but I cant find a new Tracphone LG phone to buy if the one I have goes down or is lost or swiped as they are always out of stock . I like the inexpensive way this phone works out , a 19.99 card for 60 minutes of calls and that's all I need in a cell phone
Then I have a regular old PC desktop with Windows and a laptop with Windows
I only use cheap old junk equipment I get from thrift stores to post on FXU with for obvious reasons
Now to questions about Smart phones
I have heard all about the Apple Iphone for years now they are up to Iphone SE thats 4G LTE maybe one thats 5G and 5G Iphone 13 with two lenses and 5G Iphone pro with the same two and a third that's telephoto with GB storage from 64 to 512
Wheres a good place to get one of these Apple Iphones and what carrier is good and also cheap between Verizon who I hate , T Mobile , Comcast , ATT that's all I can think of but theres probably dozens out there .If you pay cash at a Apple store can you buy a new Unlocked Iphone .It seems all the carriers have your Iphone Locked for 90 days into their service then you can get it unlocked by them from what Im told
And the huge question .Can you put a Tracfone SIM card into a new Unlocked Apple Iphone and use the Tracfone 60 minute 19.99 90 day calling cards only or put in a Tracfone data card for internet calling and text which are only good for 30 days and are about the same prices as the calling cards good for 90 days. I don't want to get sucked into $50 up a month for cell phone service as I would only use internet if I really had to now and then, plus $50 is really 60 with all the taxes they heap on to the phone service bill
ATT sucks in a way because they have a phone that's prepaid so you can buy cards like a Tracphone burner phone for 30 to 90 days and another that you pay every month too much trouble with them but you can not refill the monthly phone with a prepaid card , what a stupid shitty way to do business like Verizon whose marketing is the worst always in your face with some shit they are trying to push, their Fios TV is always putting some shit I don't want up like the On Demand screen or changing your set channel at night . They also lock me into some classical music BS then its hard to get out. F Them all the way They will be gone soon as I have had enough of their BS
Then Microsoft is the worst of all with their marketing pop up helpers , offers to steal your passwords, getting in your face asking you do you like this background just so much bullshit bothering you with them you can't get anything done like it was before, their clouds are only to suck you into remote storage free now then money when they get enough into them and to spy on you,I uninstalled that BS , they can seriously go to hell which is a shame as they were the ones with Apple that made the internet what it is and reason I never want any phone with their shit in it
A final word
Marketers have ruined more US companies then any president or political party in the US .
Fire them all and you will be far better off with a single person who just has good common sense working for you and save millions each year
