THANK YOU FOR WAITING, SIR......

Back when I knew I was gonna lose my job, I did not renew my cell phone with ATT. Needed to get away from that monthly bill, so I went to TracFone. The first one finally died a slow death, wouldn't hold much of a charge. So I opted for a ritzy, ditzy Samsung. Could not make or receive calls from the house! Called them, explained the whole thing, he said he would send me a new phone. But I like this one. So he said he would send updates to this phone. Waited a week, still can't make calls. Called last week, explained it all again, and, guess what, a new phone came today, with instructions to send the old one back. OK, got on 'puter to update new phone and switch minutes and number. FAIL. Call them. I knew I was in trouble when she kept calling me 'sir'. Had to give her the new phone's serial number 4, yes four, times. Had to give her the phone number 3 times. Finally, after being put on hold so she could talk to her supervisor. She said, turn the phone off, wait an hour, turn the phone on, and, I should be up and running. It better be.
When these 1000+ minutes are done, I'm biting the bullet for an I-Phone.

Later...............

I depend on a Blackberry. It hasn't failed me yet. Good luck.

Hope the job thing wasn't too bad. I am familiar with the phenomenon.
