Hi Dark, Oh, I don't doubt that. Unfortunately, I am extremely cash strapped right now so haven't had the funds or means available to purchase a new iPhone so have had to do without that advantage myself. Still, I do have it on the things to do once those funds become available to me. I just looked at phone plans the other day and it might be feasible in the next few months or so once I see my way through my medical issues.
