You may remember back during the holidays I made some wild, irrational, speculation about getting a smart phone. I've needed a new phone for over 10 years since my current one is about 14 or 15 years old I'm not sure just exactly how old it is. Miss Pam made the move yesterday and got her a new phone. When she called Sprint to have our service go back to just one line (mine) It only brought our bill down by 20 bux a month. And we were stuck in a plan that provided 500 minutes per month. 'course it included all the goodie; text, camera, internet and data etc which I don't want or need.
It was that proverbial straw that broke the camels back. There is a Cricket store right around the corner from my house and I've been hearing/looking at them for a while now. I went up there and got me a new phone. I did choke on the smart phone thing though. I'm just not ready. But I got a nice basic phone for 50 bux and I got lucky and caught a sale. UNLIMITED CALLS (AND TEXTS IF I WANT IT) ALL FOR ONLY 25 BUX A MONTH. I don't remember the exact amount but I think the regular price was about double that. And it's permanent. It never goes up. It's 25 a month for as long as I have the account. This will cut my cell phone bill back by 75%. I'm happy!
Oh yeah, it does have a Camera too. Of all the options they put on phones these days that is the only one that I've ever even remotely been interested in having.
I also found out that Cricket was recently purchased by AT&T so I have confidence that the service will be good all over. I can make call right now but it may take 24 hours before an incoming call can get through. I I even got to keep the same number.
Now I gotta go read up on how to work the darn thing....
