thanks for the reply!
There are lots of shops here too... they started out at $50 shop fees and are up to $125, plus $50 "reimbursement" once you fill out the follow up report. I don't think
any have been taken in my area and I've been waiting to see if the fee would go up, but I'd like to get a sense for what I'm getting into.
I may end up going with another phone than the iPhone, I believe the shop can be done with any smart phone. I know this carrier has two options when buying a new phone: you can use their program that's kinda like a lease, where you just pay a device fee every month, or you can buy the phone outright. I'd probably buy the phone. Hopefully someone who has done one can chime in with some details about whether there are any restrictions in what type of phone, and how you have to pay for it.
I'll definitely provide an update if I end up taking the shop, but I'm hoping someone can provide some more details before I dive in.
