I haven't been able to sleep at night mostly because the fan I use at night has the same subliminal whining tone the saws make, so I wake over and over thinking they are here already.
But this morning , feeling exhausted, I had to program a phone and called cousin Ellie to help me. I have all my Internet and phone services bundled through AT&T. I just hate Tracfones, so I had called AT&T and got "a deal" on a cell phone. Yesterday UPS delivered the phone. This morning Ellie came and said the phone was just like hers--a Razor or something like that.
This cell phone takes photos and does everything imaginable. But I don't need a text messaging phone or a Blue Tooth or that crap. I just want a plain ole cell phone in case the landline goes down at the house; or tote in my purse if I have trouble on the road to call for help. So Ellie got the battery in and we went down the list of instructions in the booklet. I'm glad she was here. I was so tired I couldn't concentrate.
Then I called the number to have it activated and listened to the operator read the terms of agreement etc etc. Then I got the battery charged up and tried to make a call. Well, la de dah. Guess what. There is no cell phone tower service for AT&T where I live. No bars. No calls. We drove two miles before two bars showed up. Well, that's why I didn't like the Tracfone. I need a phone I can use at the house.
I called the activation lady again and explained in my rural area of Mississippi AT&T didn't work. She said return the phone to the store. Ellie and IÂ drove 40 miles to Hattiesburg and canceled the whole deal. The guy who waited on me said Alltel and Cellular South work where I live. WHY didn't AT&T tell me that? Why didn't I have enough smarts to ask before I ordered the phone in the first place? Live and learn Sue.
