Is that because the pool cleaners and air conditioning repair men you meet tend to get laid whenever they go to a job?

As someone who hates using a phone with only a touchscreen, but wants a phone that can do most/all of the things other smartphones can do, what are some good choices for me in a new phone? I won't buy a phone without a keypad. I have always had very low end phones before which has worked just fine, but having a phone with an actual browser would be very useful when I'm on the road and don't have my laptop/access to wifi. What would you recommend? Also, I'm with AT&T now, but would happily switch to Tmobile if I had decent signal in my apartment. What are your thoughts between those two providers?

Thank you for that advice about the insurance plan thing! Wouldn't have known to look for that otherwise. I'll have to try out the service test idea too. My current phone number is from an area code far away from where I currently live. Are they going to give me crap about keeping my same # if I switch carriers and am living in a different area code?

Thank you for the response.

I have zero interest in anything tablet. I'm perfectly willing to sacrifice performance for a keypad.

I referee, so I'm often driving and trying to confirm directions to a site, or calling members of my crew to coordinate pregame things. I can't deal with the distraction of a touch screen while I'm driving, but I can operate a key pad by feel. The browser would largely be for directions and accessing my game schedule/information on my assignment website. Whatever phone I get would need to be something I can carry comfortably in a pocket, so a giant tablet/phone is a no-go.

I've largely been happy with my lower functioning phones, I just need a marginal increase in capability. I don't plan on using the phone to do everything for me like many people use their phones for.

Do carriers have any way of letting me borrow a phone to test signal at places I would most need signal (my apartment and my place of work?). That would definitely me decide whether to stay with AT&T which covers me, or switch to Tmobile if they have similar coverage.

This is against the rules under law 12 Fouls and Misconduct, specifically "playing in a dangerous manner". While this action isn't dangerous by itself, the way you are playing with your teammate makes it impossible for an opponent to fairly play the ball without fouling you or the defender. This is the same reason you can't trap the ball between your thighs and hop the ball down the field. By you playing this way, the opponent has no legal way of challenging for the ball.

The laws of the game are meant to both provide safety for the players and encourage proper play. Even though you would be "endangering yourself" by this trick, you are creating a situation that detracts from the skill of the game and not allowing the opponent a fair chance to play.
