The iPhones will only work on other plans if they have been unlocked. Chances are that if you bought it through Verizon, the phone is locked to only accept Verizon sim cards. If the phone has been payed for, however, you can often ask for it to be unlocked, and then use it with whatever plan you want. I recently paid the remaining balance for my iPhone 6 to AT&T and then switched over to T-Mobile. 5s is old enough that you've probably already completely paid for it.

Not sure about plans though - I pay $130/month for two lines with unlimited everything and data that can be used in 140+ countries, which is worth it for us, but probably not most people.

OMG, why did I ever give a Democrat my phone number?? I don't think a day has gone by in the past year when I did not get multiple calls from the DCCC, the DSCC, this was just the Democratic Governors' Association -- when I do answer, I tell them to take me off their lists, but then another organization just pops up in their place!!

OMG, why did I ever give a Democrat my phone number??

I never answer my phone anyway so that isn't an issue, but I had to unsubscribe to a bunch of things in email because it is just too much every day.

Who else is reading the St. Patrick's Day saga over at Ask a Manager?

Me! If someone at work pinched me at this point in my life, I think I would probably hit them!

Right? Hopefully I give off a vibe of "no touchy" and this would never happen to me.

I, too have a "no touchy" vibe that mostly works. I had to say "at this point in my life", because when I worked at the service desk of the grocery store in high school/college, there was a dirty old man who came in every day as I was putting up the lotto numbers and pinched my waist? As an adult, I now realize that was out of bounds. I was an old man magnet as a young woman, for some reason.

At my old job, there was one woman who always threatened to pinch people on St. Patrick's Day, and -- I look terrible in green and never wear it -- I flatly told her that I consider that assault and she shouldn't be surprised when I physically defended myself.

She huffed away with "It's JUST for FUN, jeez!" To which I replied "Nope, assault is never fun. Keep your hands off me at our place of employment."

People often thought I was a bitch, but I never got pinched. Jesus. How the fuck hard is it for grown-ass adults to actually act like adults?

Half my co-workers are relatives and I've been friends with most of the ones who aren't for over a decade, so I'd probably take it in stride. Random people I don't know well pinching me will result in a fistfight, though.

I've literally never been in any setting where the pinching thing happened! Or at least I don't remember it happening. I don't know if it's because 75% of the kids I grew up around had some Irish heritage, or if everyone just wore green anyway, or what. But among adults? That is NUTS.
