I have a Phone!


15 Aug

After nearly 3 weeks, I have a phone again. So what that it thinks my name is Hank and has all of Hank’s contacts and none of mine. I can fix that easily enough.

All of the service people we dealt with at Sprint were very nice. With the SIM card that didn’t work, we had a great guy who called us back after our initial call to try something else.

The problem is, Sprint doesn’t use SIM cards. Only the Nextel phones do, and 90% of their tech people don’t know anything about activating SIM cards and Nextel phones.

I Still Don’t Have a Phone


09 Aug

I am done. Really. Just done.

After the BlackBerry debacle, I ordered a non-smart phone. Because I wanted to have it while the husband was away for a week, I ordered a Nextel phone. Turns out, unlike Sprint phones, Nextel phones require SIM cards. Naturally, the one I ordered did not come with one.

So, I ordered a SIM card. It arrived the day the husband got back. And guess what? It’s not the right SIM card, despite the seller claiming it is. So the phone still doesn’t work.

At this point, I’m not even certain I want a phone.
