Cell phones

I have had the same cell phone for the last five years. Last week
it died. My husband's still worked. Sooo I waited for several
days before I asked him to go with me to see about a new plan and
phone. Little did I know that the phone carrier would not sell
me a phone without signing up for a two year plan.

When I called, they told me that I would have to choose a new
plan. I told that phone company goodbye. We then went on
an intelligence gathering trip. We took our information home
and made the decision. We knew what company, what plan, etc.,
and went to select the phone and take care of the business
part. It took us 3 1/2 hours to do the business part of it.
I don't see how the salesmen make a living if they only have
time to conduct two sales a day!

The young man was very nice, well versed in his sales spiel
and in the business transaction. It was one of those hurry up
and wait experiences.

Finally, we arrived home in the middle of a terrible wind and
rain storm, carrying our phones and materials. I do not know
much more than how to turn the thing on, but my little red
book will tell me everything I know. I hope I will have
all my special friends' numbers in the phone by next week.
