But don't forget about your old phone yet. A number of services will give you cash or store credit for a used device. Just make sure to wipe all your data off your old phone before you part with it. We've gathered some services where you can trade in an old device for cash or store credit. Most of these services also take Samsung and Google devices, and all of them take iPhones. To compare the prices offered by each service, we ran a price check for an Apple iPhone 8 (64GB, AT&T) in various states of damage. https://www.wired.com/story/how-to-sell-an-old-iphone/ -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180921024630.4210D200521DEE@ary.qy> Date: 20 Sep 2018 22:46:29 -0400 From: "John Levine" <johnl@iecc.com> Subject: Re: Universal Service Fund In article <20babcbc-0c7d-4709-bfe3-0e7dce85f941@googlegroups.com> you write: >One of the objectives of the Bell breakup was to eliminate that >cross-subsidy so that business and LD rates would go down and big >businesses would save money (which is what happened).

I agree that the USF is totally screwed up these days, but I would disagree that local customers had no net gain. If you make any long distance calls at all, the rates have dropped to the point where they hardly matter. 3 cpm for anywhere in the country is typical. ------------------------------ Message-ID: <20180921134909.GA2646@telecom.csail.mit.edu> Date: Fri, 21 Sep 2018 09:49:09 -0400 From: Bill Horne <bill@horneQRM.net> Subject: Wyoming Counties Announce New 911 Texting Service A new emergency texting service has been unveiled in Albany and Laramie counties. Though the new service is expected to help those that are deaf and hard of hearing contact emergency services, it is also expected to help individuals whose lives may be endangered by calling 911. It is recommended, however, that people seeking emergency services call 911 when possible. The current technology only allows 160 character texts. Texters cannot use emojis, pictures, videos, or other file attachments in their messages. http://laramielive.com/wyoming-counties-announce-911-texting-services -- Bill Horne (Remove QRM from my email address to write to me directly) ------------------------------ ********************************************* End of telecom Digest Sat, 22 Sep 2018
