It was kind of a weird cell phone week.
Jill and I decided that we wanted to switch to T-Mobile for the Military Magenta Plus plan (Veteran). $35.00 per line (fees and taxes included) for unlimited talk and text in the US. And unlimited data in Spain, with talk at 5 cents/minute. And outside of Spain, it is unlimited talk and text in all of the other European countries we will be visiting. Kinda weird about Spain vs the rest of Europe, but I confirmed it.
So far, service with cell and data is no different at all from our Verizon plan.
The weird or inconvenient thing was that my iPhone SE, my faithful companion, decide it was too pooped to function for more than three hours at a time before needing a charge. For over a month, I noticed that the standby time was shortening, and that active use really drained the battery.
I thought about trying to replace the battery, but other factors with its age made me look at upgrading the phone itself. So I ended up with a new iPhone 11 (non-pro) as part of the deal with T-Mobile when switching plans.
Compared to my SE, it is big, bulky, and a bit heavier. But it makes data-intense app use easier to see, and I do like the face recognition. I do not like the deletion of the Belly Button, though
So here's hoping that, between a new phone and a new plan provider, weird stuff doesn't happen after we head out on Tuesday for Camino Ingles
