Disadvantages
No mention in the article of disadvantages of an unlocked phone, WiFi calling is a feature I can't live without, as the signal is weak in my home. AT&T, for one, does not enable WiFi calling on unlocked phones.
Re: Samsung Pay works at Target
Is that by swipe to simulate a magnetic strip on a credit card, or tap and pay?
The last time we used a non-Target credit card at Target, we got hit with a bogus $750 online charge.

Yes, don't hold down the side button :)
I have the same problem that occasionally I squeeze that button and set the phone to vibrate only and then wonder why I missed a call. But I find the convenience of being able to turn the ringer off easily outweighs the problem caused by once in a while accidentally squeezing that button.
Re: HELP ME!!
Is there a way that "blake" could modify the post and delete the email addy?
I use a hotmail address for posting on newsgroups and would normally get 20 to 30 spams per day, until I put a filter stating that the subject line must contain the word "hotmail", otherwise the email is trashed.
