Q: If I trade in my old phone what is it worth. Samsung Note 10 + for the new s23 ultra
A: That was carrier dependent. Trade-in prices will change, so you'll have to check with your carrier. During pre-order period it was $800 with Verizon, and $1000 with AT&T.
Q: Does this specific model from Best Buy come with 8BG or 12GB of RAM?
A: The 512 one comes with 12
Q: Why does my phone say "unable to send text message" when it does send the text message?
A: undefined
Q: Do I need earbuds with the Samsung S23, I don't have a port for earplugs
A: Is there a port for ear plugs on the s23
Q: Do you have to use the pencil like tool to type on black Samsung 23 ultra.
A: No, not at all. This pencil like tool is called the S-pen. It has a storage space inside the phone so it's always there, but you never have to use it. The s-pen adds a lot of unique functionality to the S23 ultra. You can use it as a remote control for the camera, you can hover over the screen to extend menus in the web browser, use it to write and erase notes, make precise edits to photos or videos and tons of other things. But ultimately, no, the phone does not require you to use it for anything.
Q: What if I already have Verizon unlimited? Is there still a trade in promotion for my s21
A: undefined
Q: Is this compatible with the 770G or 780G insulin pump?
A: Sorry i don't know the answer to your question... However, I can tell you the Tandem t:slim X2 pump, along with an integrated Dexcom CGM will give you much better BG control. Then with this phone you can side load xDrip+ software that is much more useful than1 the factory CGM software and even display your BF graph on your Galaxy watch -- that's what I do.
