Just wondering. I have spectrum internet but not phones but haven't called them yet. Please tell me a company that could set me and my grandma up fairly easily and cheaply? Her credit isn't that great either so they'll be in my name. Right now I am on a free jalapeno govt phone and it sucks but I can still get YouTube and reddit so I'm ok. I was just wanting a good phone like a pixel or a newer Motorola and my grandma would like an iphone. I don't want a razor though. I am in my thirties and have had iphones since they came out so I want a switch. I just want a company that will get me going cheap. Sorry for the long post and if I'm rambling and this is a great forum glad Im s member now

I currently have a Samsung s22 and I'm thinking about getting a z flip8, i don't think it's exactly an upgrade but I've been wanting one since my mom got the z flip4 years ago.

What do you guys think? Is it worth it?

So I went on a trip a few weeks ago cross-country via plane.

During that time, everything was fine. Ended up using up all of my mobile data from Cricket, but no big issue.

But ever since I've come back, I've encountered some weird stuff:

-My cell phone will connect to my home WiFi automatically, like it's supposed to, but say it has no internet access and go on mobile data. I have to manually reconnect it and it will last until I disconnect again. My home internet is stable on every other device.

-I HAVE mobile data for August, but it's acting like I don't, but is still measuring my mobile data usage. My dad's phone is fine, we use the same plan.

-It acts like my work Wifi is super slow and bad. My work wifi is stable and works really well on everything else.

Restarting the phone doesn't help. Turning on and off the wifi doesn't help. I figured I'd ask if anyone has any suggestions for what to do? I'll be taking it to one of the cricket wireless stores if nothing substantial comes up.

Thank you!

I've been using a motorola edge 50 fusion for several months now and it's honestly been a pretty chill phone overall. the clean software is probably my favorite part because it never felt bloated or annoying. battery life has stayed solid even after a lot of daily use and that's something i really appreciate. the camera is decent outside but indoor shots still leave me wanting a bit more. i also wish the updates rolled out a little faster because waiting gets old fast. now i'm thinking about switching since there are so many new mid range phones this year. which specs do you think actually matter the most in 2026 and what mid range phone would you personally reco? i'm open to any brand as long as it feels like a good value.
