The Lumia was of course a joke. Too bad US Cellular doesn't GSM. CDMA is rather dated. Verizon has CDMA too. It's a scam to make you buy the phone from them. If you had a GSM service it's a SIM card you can just put in any new GSM phone and you can get the phone anywhere which saves money. You'll be overpaying for that S4 on a cellular plan.
Speaking of plans, I just got off the phone yelling at T-Mobile. My monthly plan didn't auto refill. The credit card on the plan was one that hackers got from Raley's (damn if I'll even use a credit card there again). The bank replaced it with a different one and I went online to T-Mobile and change the account number to the new card. First off they have a screwball interface for that but it appeared it went through. I was able to get to an CSR and she checked and indeed the system showed the new card on the billing section but somehow it was implemented on another. So two thumbs down T-Mobile billing. I told her to make sure the problem gets reported up the line as this SHOULD NOT be happening. The only reason I'm using T-Mobile is for a $30 a month plan that has 5 GB data per month and 100 minutes of talk. I'm not a talker and some months there's less than 30 minutes of talk used. I still have landline for most calls.
