Reply #8: i hate it, but i finally did it

[ldf]

after two incidences of meeting a business associate after work where i missed him, and at one point we were literally a few feet away from each other, i finally did it. but it is a no frills phone. actually two, one for me, one for partner. $88 a month. 700 minutes.

now, i get constant wrong numbers, and solicitations.

PLUS, every time you touch the thing, it counts as a call, or a minute.

i just got my monthly bill. we (partner and i) have the lowest monthly free minutes, 700.

my phone showed i had used it for 40 minutes. i hadn't. but it was all those wrong numbers and solicitations, who left messages, so i had to call phone mail, listen to the messages, then delete them. i bet i had not actually been on the phone talking for a total of 5 minutes, for the whole month. and if i go over the 700 (not that we ever would) it is 45 cents a minute. (VERIZON)

the solicitations are what really pisses me off. i thought you didn't get those types of calls on a cell phone.

as usual, it's a scam.
