iPhone se 2020 2nd gen

Post#1 by Jack » 05 Mar 2022, 01:37

In Jan 2022 my wife past away and then after that Sprint turn my phone. My Son told me if I could find a Sim Card for Verizon he would add me to his account. So far all I can find isVerizon pre-pay Sim Cards and the Verizon Store won't sell one to me.

I need a phone and since I lost her income I can't buy a new phone so if anyone know of one can you point to it?
I just like Slackware because I think it teach you about Linux to build packages where Ubuntu is like Windows you just install programs you want.

If you have Internet service a Vonage modem provides inexpensive phone service for house phones, it's what we have.

What I learn that is life is too short. I was in the hospital in Feb with gallstones and broken ribs but I did learn that my oxygen level was to low so now I have to use oxygen when I walk around in the house. They are getting me one so I leave my house. I was told the oxygen that I needed it for a long time.

FYI from my son-in-law.
iPhones are usually locked to providers until phone is paid off. Then you need to request to have them unlocked.

SIM cards are usually free.
