Thanks all. I bought it from T-Mobile online. The case came from T-Mobile as well.

There are multiple T-Mobile stores in town. When I went online to find out about iPhones, I actually didn't intend to make a purchase, but the who I did the online chat with was NOT hard sales, and I ended up making the purchase from her.

I have decided I am going to take a copy of my sales receipt and the phone and the case to the closest T-Mobile store and just ask them to put it on. If it's not the correct case, I will leave it up to them to make it right. I hate to do that to them, but I am not exactly sure I was sent the correct case. I know that it should be hard to put on, because you don't want it to just fall off again... but it actually doesn't seem quite long enough, when I compare the case to the phone itself.

Yes, I probably did "over buy" for a first cell phone, but I wanted to make sure it would be one that will last me for a while, rather than finding out, after the fact, had I gone for the Pro Max, that it would have done more... <sigh>.

I'm always good for a laugh. 😁😁😁

Sorry to say, I am *NOT* a child. I have a landline that I will be getting rid of. Am in the process of porting my current phone number on the landline to my new cell.

Good. I was getting worried. Not everyone lives on a cell phone. I realize a lot of people do, but you can count me in as one who doesn't. At least not yet.

Sorry if I offended you by any chance. But i was just saying phones offer functionality of laptop and desktops and land lines all in one so its just bizarre to me that one could go so long without getting one when he had the option to

Another point is mobile data

Yes, I realize that cell phones offer functionality that laptops and desktops and land lines do not offer -- but after working IT for years, when I left that position, I turned in the pager and cell phone that I had been tied to for years. I also took off my watch and hardly ever wear it.

If you can hear the song, "I want to be free..." that's me singing, in the background. I was tied to both a pager AND cell phone and watch (get to those IT meetings on time)... I no longer want to be tied down to anything except my cat.

Yes. I had to carry my employer's phone AND pager, both at the same time, in case a server went down or there were network issues.

This is *MY* first phone, and first iPhone. The employer's phone was an android.

Pagers were small devices that you usually clip on a waistband of slacks / pants, or attach to the outside of a woman's purse, so you could easily check the message. They were the predecessor to cell phones, but there was a lap over, at least by some major companies, requiring some employees to carry both pagers and cell phones.

The pager that I carried could accept either phone numbers or actual text messages. I had to carry a pager as well as my cell phone, to make sure anyone could reach me, 24/7.
