My SO's phone
Edited on Mon Dec-22-08 06:19 PM by sakabatou
It said it was "temporarily disconnected."

What do I do? :( I'm worried.

5. I'd listen to that old Ben Folds song about the person whose phone's disconnected
And their shit's out on the lawn.

Here's a crappy cover of it for your listening pleasure:

15. Forgot to pay the bill
99% of the time, that's what this message means. The phone company suspended service until someone shows them the money.

21. How long?
What is normal interval for communication? Neighbors, family? If real serious you can call law enforcement for a welfare check, but you haven't given enough details for me to tell if that is a possibility, the other being avoidance by choice.

30. She should go to a friends, or to a library, or a café with internet
and let you know that she's okay. Which I hope is the case.

31. Didn't ask
But I think she does that.

She'll be out of phone contact until the new year (don't ask why, I don't know).
