Trainman and Bill, I’ve got a little more info. If I buy a SIM free phone from Apple, I get the military discount. If I buy a Verizon activated phone, I lose the discount. It’s not an activation fee per se, but it sure feels like one. 🤣 They said I can technically just swap my SIM card, but it’s really old, so I’d prefer a new one. I still need to find what Verizon will charge for that, but I suspect it’ll be less than the discount. I also got an Apple Card, so I’ll get another 6% cash back on that if I pay in full.
My sister convinced me 128GB will be enough. I’ve got over 70Gb of photos, but most won’t be transferred to the phone. She also said she decided to trade early, so she got almost 50% trade-in for her 11. Still a lot to pay for a new phone every couple of years. 😂
My wife is getting her 2nd shingles shot tomorrow morning, so I plan to stop at the Base Exchange and see if the clerk can answer questions about the activation process. I still need to check Costco and I plan on doing that tomorrow.
Mark, did you mean to type MB or GB?
