And I am happy. I can still talk and text who I want, as much as I want and not have to pay a ton of extra money. We finally got local phones! Honey loves the local MetroPCS, has used them forever, and since they have increased their towers we get good service where we live, so we decided to go for it and drop our phones with the company taken over by AT&T. Everything seems to be getting taken over by them again. Cingular is the new AT&T and then Cell One is the new AT&T. We can't afford AT&T so we ditched, sort of.
My Ohio phone was no longer under a contract and had we known this we would have dumped it when we moved here, as soon as we got here. Currently there are 29 days left of my Ohio phone life and no, I won't be using it. Honey's phone, unfortunately, has until March of 2009 before the contract expires. We dropped the phone down to the cheapest plan they have, which is 20 bucks a month plus tax. We took off all extra features that were paid for. Then we shut the phone off. We'll pay the 20 bucks a month plus tax until we can afford to shut it off for good, currently that's $280.00 bucks. And if the Little Lady does go to Ohio this summer to visit her friends, we'll can always give her the phone for use there if she no longer has her track phone, which has an Ohio based number as well.
My new phone is called a Huawei (I think the guy pronounced it Who-Way) and even though it doesn't have any games or decent ring tones, I like it. I bought it because it's a flip phone and the Nokia they had wasn't. Yes, I like Nokia, they make excellent phones. My last two were Nokia brand and they were capable of taking a beating. My previous phone actually ended up sitting in snow for about a half an hour before I realized it was missing. It worked just fine. So I definitely recommend the study Nokia phones if you are the type who tends to drop their phone, or it falls out of your pocket, or it gets left in the snow. Whether it will survive the washer or not like Little Lady's Motorola trac phone or not, I don't know.
So we'll see how well this phone stands up to the test of time with me. I don't plan on putting it through the ringer, but things do happen. Laters.
