By proceeding, I agree that I understand the following disclosures:
I. How We Work in Washington. Based on your preferences, we provide you with information about one or more of our contracted senior living providers ("Participating Communities") and provide your Senior Living Care Information to Participating Communities. The Participating Communities may contact you directly regarding their services. APFM does not endorse or recommend any provider. It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.
IV. No Obligation or Commitment. You have no obligation to use or to continue to use our services. Because you pay no fee to us, you will never need to ask for a refund.
V. Complaints. Please contact our Family Feedback Line at (866) 584-7340 or
[email protected] to report any complaint. Consumers have many avenues to address a dispute with any referral service company, including the right to file a complaint with the Attorney General's office at: Consumer Protection Division, 800 5th Avenue, Ste. 2000, Seattle, 98104 or 800-551-4636.

Really, since you had your phone for only 3 months, you should have gotten some money back or credit towards a newer model.
I have used Tracfone for years. Went from a flip to an Samsung android which was a $200 phone I got on a holiday special for $100. Its basically for when I am away from home. My daughter has the same model and thats her main phone. need to keep a landline because of my husbands special hearing phone. No, he can't use a cell. I have a Samsung Tablet so do most of my stuff on that. My HP laptop is no longer supported in any way, so I disabled the WiFi. I use it for card labels and doing envelopes. Download my phone pictures to put on a flash drive. My DH plays games on it.
I too would be upset if I paid hundreds for a phone that was considered obsolete 3 months later. My BIL tells me I need an iphone. Not paying a $1000 or more for a phone. Can't justify the cost or the cost of a carrier for something I don't use that much. Tracfone cost me maybe $25 a month if that.
When 5g went live, the systems were no longer able to support 3g technology.
Lots of people got caught in this situation and every person I know that HAD to replace their devices, were notified months in advance that this was coming. I would file a complaint with Amazon about the seller, because they knew this was happening and unloaded stock to unaware customers.
I have found that smart phones are pretty much horrible.
If I am doing anything online, I use my laptop.
I've been satisfied with my cheap Samsung j3; it makes phone calls and texts and if I need to I can do a little web browsing and use the GPS and maps... I have no interest in doing anything more on that tiny little screen.
I am going back to my old flip phone that had a slide-out keyboard, if I can find a new battery. All I need is phone and text. I have a desk-top computer I can use for everything else. Plus I know how to read a map :)
Those who now believe the Smartphones of today are so easy to use, just wait 10 or 20 years from now. You'll be grumbling just like the rest of us.
Hopefully we will still be able to use our landlines.
YouTube has many tutorials on just about any subject. You can solve almost anything by searching YT and watching any number of videos. I've never searched YT without at least 1 video being found.
Tech can be intimidating -- and expensive -- but it is mostly very helpful.
