Where has this been all the years I've had a cellphone?
My phone decided to take a swim in the river. I didn't have Insurance with Verizon. Didn't really want to do the payment plan or buy a phone from them outright for $600.
So I decided to buy a cheap unlocked phone from Amazon, the Moto G4 for $129. Well, since its not carrier owned, The FM radio chip is not deactivated. Listening to the FM Radio on my phone doesn't use Data and doesn't drain the battery as fast as IHeart or Pandora, etc..
I just want to say these cellphone companies are doing a big disservice to the public by not letting people have access to the FM radio chip that is ALREADY installed on every cellphone. But, they gotta sell that higher Data plan.
On another note, the Moto G4 I bought, for $129, would normally have been $199, but if you let Amazon put a small advertisement on your lock screen, you can save $70. So far, the Advertisement hasn't been an issue. I may never go back to carrier locked phones. As long as it can handle Facebook, Tapatalk (for Saints Report) and Browsing the Internet, its good enough.
Also had no idea that Lenovo bought Motorola.
Edit: probably going to be a bad person and remove the Amazon ads.
