I made mistake opening this as 2nd line with the Moto which line is now suspended due to non-paying making the whole account suspended. Not sure if they will let me exchange. I'm going to try some of the tips to see if they improves the battery.
Bro...all the galaxies have drain issues. There are bugs with some apps. For example Samsung's gallery app can cause the CPU to hang until killed. I tested this a few times in my S23U, when I noticed it was draining quickly. Another time I had to force stop some Samsung system app for the CPU to drop from peak frequency, at idle.
I noticed One UI 6 really hurt the standby and active time of the S23 series, and other users have echoed as such. I bought my phone in November or December, and it doesn't last as long as it used to. I only charge to 85%, so don't say it's wear already lol.
Now, my Moto G Stylus 5G 22 is going strong. Lasts forever despite me getting it in 2022. Even my OLD HP 11a and Samsung 4+ Chromebooks last close to what they did when I first obtained them. Samsung is messing up their updates somehow. My next phone will be a Moto Edge 2024 or OnePlus, depending on their designs.
With each of my two accounts, it let me Add-A-Line, went through checking and reserving the port-in number, entered cc, then failed after submitting, got the dreaded Contact Us to complete your order. I tried 8-9 times over 4 days, using different browsers, Incognito Mode, even tried from my phones using Data (in case they block my WiFi IP) but no luck. I think they blacklisted my street address.
Thanks for the insight. I guess I've risked enough with 3 on one account to have my street address blacklisted.

So how many Metro will let you buy?
I bought the razr because I needed eSim for travel.
- My other phone is S21FE - I like it - good size etc but no eSim. I like its fold able. Goes into your (pant's) pocket like a wallet and it will be secure!
- Wondering if I should get S23 FE - it has eSIM, cheap at $49 and Android updates for a while!

Which one(s) should I keep?
Good luck to get $49 S23 FE ..., but certainly you cannot get it for $49 .
I got one for $99.xx out of the store last December..
many phones nowadays has eSIM

I guess $49 + plan + tax will come to that. Still lower than razr!
Does razr provide android update like Samsung flagship phones?

I have an existing Consumer Cellular that I use as a back up number. I hate CC so I want to port out my number in the next two weeks to a new carrier. I want to keep my monthly cost under $20 though (currently CC is $24 after fees but I've effectively had it for $5 due to stacking some credit card offers).
Anyway, I don't actually need a new phone, but I like the option of reselling the phone once it is unlocked or upgrading my current back up iPhone 7+ before the battery completely dies.
After the recent price hike, is this deal still worth it for a first time customer, or should I wait for a better deal to return? Thanks
