   Hi Ned Latham,   
      
   Me neither on the Verizon particulars, although I bought a Moto G7 that had   
   to have Google Fi to get the discount, and it worked just fine on T-Mobile   
   since that's kind of sort of the same deal, I think.   
      
   In the case of the Moto G7, Google allowed me to cancel at any time sans   
   penalty, so I did (after confirming it with them before I purchased that I   
   would do that).   
      
   But I think this couple wouldn't want the complexity of that, and, this   
   deal seems to require more of a commitment.   
      
   While it's relatively easy to select a handful of budget phones for them:   
   o iPhone SE   
   o Samsung S103   
   o Pixel 3a   
   o Moto G series   
      
   What's not easy is explaining to them the difference between iOS & Android   
   so that they can make an informed choice.   
      
   If I tell them the truth about either, it scares them too much.   
   --   
   It's harder than you think to summarize iOS vs Android for scared people.
