That way I can use my iPhone 5s for um, a phone? Fancy that huh? LOL!
Deidre: That's funny. Today I actually found an A T and T store right here
in town. Don't worry, after all the remarks about going for a newer model
phone, I will be down at Apple within a week - 2 people have offered to take
me down. Meanwhile, I bought a $25 card to see how the phone works; it's an
I Phone after all, right? The $25 gives me a mere 250 minutes and unlimited
free texting, no data. I can drop it after a month if I like - there's no
contract. I'm confused by something the guy said though ... be careful he
kept saying about the minutes which I thought came in response to my saying
I only had 3.7 ggs left on the phone. Maybe what he was saying didn't have
anything to do with that but was more like anything over what you are
allotted for the month you get charged for. I naively was thinking that when
your minutes run out however fast or long into the month, the phone simply
stops working! Then there is the no data issue. Did I hear in the ether of
the shop that I would indeed get charged for data if I were somewhere that
there were no Wi-Fi? Can't be. I didn't pay for any data, right? I'll need
to go back to the shop tomorrow to clarify this, plus voice mail is not a
given to set up. Something is missing and it can't let me do it, I don't
know what.
So I chose a dog barking for a ring, and I texted a bunch and saved
one contact. Weird thing is that it is very difficult at times to get out of
messages. I've never had trouble with the app switcher before, but now I do.
Time to go back to Dresner. And, I'm ditching my old 7 year old
Samsun before Jan 5, the beginning of my next billing period, so Siegar
doesn't have to shake his head about anyone hanging onto an old flip phone
like that for so long. For one thing now that I can dictate messages, I am
happy. The recognition is excellent. As for talking, 250 minutes with no
long distance on my land line won't allow for much of that. I'm laughing.
