Do not update mid project.

Do not update until the apps you use say that it's safe to update.

Don't rush it, you want reliability, upgrading day 1 to a new OS is not how it's done.

No more call filtering app, the app says we should use Verizon Protect app now, but upon looking at all the features, call filtering isn't a feature at any tier level and has been completely removed.

Has Verizon figured out call filtering at a system level or are they just giving up?

Might be helpful for others, so thought I'd share this

I bought a Colorsoft w/Kids during Prime Day at that $150 price and was going back and forth on it, a few weeks ago I went to return it, and Amazon prompted me saying, "If you keep this kindle and we'll refund you $30."

I thought ok cool, yeah def worth it now at closer to $120, and then another week later decided I wasn't super into it still and was happy with my older one.

Went to return it since it still had the option and to my surprise again, it said, "If you keep this kindle and we'll refund you $30."

So I took that, and to my surprise it refunded me a 2nd $30.

And then on the last day of the refund, since it let me do it

Well this perks program has fallen apart real fast.

You'd think a mobile company would be able to figure out infrastructure to not timeout endlessly.

Something a little different for this sub.
