I'm thinking of switching to ring plus. Anyone have any good ideas of which phone to buy?
Do they allow any phone?
What's your criteria?

Looking to finally ipgrade from Blackberries (like 5 years latw, but whatever), wanted something good but really affordable. Someone suggested the Samsung Galexy S4. Anyone love their S4 and can share pros and cons? Battery life, picture quality, overall ... Thanks

They run on sprint. I can't seem to find enough info on what phones will work for them. I'm open to any decent phone.

join verizon.. if you dont want the LGG4  the 300 trade in makes almost any phone affordable (250$ range, monthly payments of about 10-15$ depending on phone)

Recommendations?

I currently have the Nexus 5 (AT&T) and 6 (Fi).  The 6 is too big for my every day usage, so I use it as a backup.  My 5 is not working right, so I need a new phone.  I like the size of the 5, so I don't want to go any bigger.  I like the stock feel of the Nexus, but I would not be opposed to trying something else, as long as there is not too much bloatware.  I saw mixed reviews of the 5x.

Any ideas?

One plus two and my next phone will probably be back to the iPhone.

That would be the natural choice, coming from a 5.  However, some of the reviews I saw commented on the "cheap, plastic feel".  Do you find that to be an issue, as far as durability?

Deciding between Galaxy S5 mini and Droid Mini. Any thoughts?
I am sometimes accused of overthinking things. I am still mulling over whether that accusation has merit.

Tried researching if I will be able to use on Verizon. It's very unclear to me. Anyone know for sure? Would it be any easier to use on Page Plus?

Imo it's not worth the headache trying to get an incompatible phone to work with carrier. Get a phone that's gonna work.

My VZW Note 5 got the Marshmallow update and it's super smooth now. 

White Note 5 in a black Mophie battery case.   See no reason to replace this combo for a while.
