In Marketing they talk about "features" and "benefits". In my experience the features often don't deliver the promised benefits. Worst service is within my house. If I didn't have wifi calling I would be DOA. Have called providers multiple times but no fix. Sometimes they blame the phone itself. Found in northern Michigan there are large areas with no service at all.
My phone automatically jumps between bands and wifi to obtain the best signal, including much promoted 5G. At home always defaults to wifi. Seems all providers share the same networks so switching is of no benefit, at least in my experience.
When I buy a new phone I always say, I just want to be confident to receive and make calls, plus the occasional text. I don't need it to load the dishwasher or rotate the tires. Still seems illusive. Also, I want a phone that is small enough to fit in my pocket without fear of falling out. Seems they have abandoned smaller phones aside from the pricey iphones and flip phones that used to be commonplace. Guess I am not your typical phone user.
OK...rant over!!
