Is .max still running an S3? Mine bricked, I have it and an
external battery charger, several batteries, and extra mini-USB
chargers free for the taking....

We both have Galaxy SIII's.
batteries could come in handy, although mine's still good, AFAIK.

Yeah, the Samsung J7 (Virgin Mobile, $150 @best buy) I got has the
newer micro-usb connector.

An now comes the USB C-type, of which I have no devices. A plus,
you no longer suffer the 60% chance that you'll get the orientation
wrong; this one plugs in both ways, so you will never have to flip.

PS. the J7 is waaaay better than the S3....cheaper, too. Gotta
root mine soon.

the micro cable that came with my S7 has some bumps on it so I can tell which
way is up in the dark

I've got VirginMobile, at $35 a month, .max has AT&T.
Coverage in Iowa is better with AT&T than it is w/ VirginMobile.

Ok.

I've got a sprint galaxys 4 for donation to the good folks here if anybody
needs it. Works fine, looks new, and all that stuff. I have the unlock
codes or whatever is needed to transfer to another sprint account.

sprint is the network I believe Virgin Mobile runs over, but I don't know
if it would be tranferrable, I'm assuming it's not.

what about craigslisting it?

I don't feel like dicking around for a no-show at dunkin donuts over and
over again.

phones are easy enough to ship that ebay is probably better

I'm either giving it somebody or taking it apart to see what inside. Not
going to create an ebay account or other time burning things like that.

I'll take it off your hands if you haven't taken it apart yet. I know of
someone who I can give it to.
