It's Beer Time... I've got nothing new, but am definitely imbibing after this afternoon upgrading my cellphone.
It has been a comedy of errors on my part, but each time I was faced with something I did not understand I stopped and thought the old one still works, you can return the new one... take your time and figure it out.
The Tracfone website told me that my phone number and days of service would transfer to the new phone, but my minutes would not. I thought whoa... ended up ordering $45 of service to get the thing going. Once the phone was up and running I found that my interpretation of the message I got was wrong. My phone service is paid for to 7/21/17, I have 1,978 minutes of talk time paid for, 5.2 GB of data use paid for, and I can send/receive 2354 texts messages without additional payment. The new phone and service addition cost me about $150 and unless something big happens in my life my smartphone service is paid for until this time next year.
To top it off the old phone still works fine on my wi-fi, so it's now a mini-tablet.
The new 4G LG Rebel is far more advanced than the old 3G LG Ultimate II. Change can be hard and then it is neat.
