      How can the best option involve wasting time to potentially drive for days to buy a cell phone for less than the gas it costs to get it?

      Well a flight can be like $50. You normally combine purchases. Need some medicine, for example, it only takes a small prescription to pay for a flight down, a few nights there, time on the beach, etc.

      Unfortunately in the real world, not everyone is a quick $50 flight to Mexico or even further down. I'd say most. And most may not want to also buy their prescriptions there either.

      I'd say while it could be the best option for you to get all of your cell phones from Mexico, it's not for most.

      Exactly - a flight to anywhere in TX for me costs $350 to start.

      Hey same.. weird it's like we live within 50 miles of each other or something. .

      I'll be in Mexico this weekend - what ya need? ๐Ÿ˜›

      He needs a Huawei P30

            Managed to kill the screen on my Galaxy S5 over the weekend. Since it's a work line and I've been using my own HW up until now they're covering a new Pixel 3a.... I've got an iPhone 7 on loan for the time being and it's just reinforcing my dislike of apple

              At least I'm not alone in my hatred for Apple Products.

                Frankly Iโ€™ve been using an iPhone for 2 years now... all vendors have their suck... all vendors have their pluses...

                At least these iPhones havenโ€™t been locking up on me every day like my old galaxy S5 and earlier phones..older android phones just sucked!!!

                  Android is really solid now, true.

                  But now they are getting manufacturer adware shit.

                          @WrCombs for $200 that's pretty cheap, I've never heard of the brand before, but brand recognition isn't all that important

                              But it does seem like it's gotten great reviews. .

                                $200 for an unlocked phone? Hell yes that's cheap. I've seen BLU available at staples here, don't know of anyone who's tried one.

                                  Now that I think about it, I've only ever seen what it would cost me a month and not what the total cost of the phone is.

                                      It's a phone, it makes and receives calls first. Are there features you may want from an iPhone? If so you need to consider those features as something else may not have them.

                                        I tell folks to go what they like. For instance, my Mom love her iPad and has a few paid apps for her iStuff... so I tell her if she's happy with it, just upgrade, otherwise she has to buy the apps again.
