I go to cellphoneshop . com They always seem to be having an 80% off sale. amazing.😉 I’ve bought faceplates and batteries for way cheap. Recently, I bought cables for about $9 or $10 each and the software was something like $25. ---

I’m going to double check some prices, but this place offers the cable and software I need at only 30 dollars. If I spend 40, I get free shipping and a booster. Woohoo, looks like I get a new battery too! Merry Christmas to me! Really, thank you, this will save me 15.00 each month.
