My iPhone was delivered today.
Now it’s resting and charging – connected with the iCloud.
That will take some time to get used to, after using the company Blackberry for so long as my only option.

But: it’s here! Hooray! 1 month ago

The first step to getting a personal mobile is done – I ordered the nano sim with a mobile service provider who won’t bind me in a loooong contract and instead just charges a monthly fee should you use this service.
It should be here in a week or so, so now I’ll start looking for my mobile telephone and buy one soon.

Hooray, freedom :D 1 month ago

The plan is to get an iPhone for my personal use and leave the Blackberry – my company mobile – in it’s case in the evenings and on the weekend. And, I could activate 2 step security on a lot of things with my own private mobile – things I’d rather not do with the company mobile :)
My husband loves his iPhone and I played a bit with it – seems to be working great.
Let’s see when I can get one – next month perhaps? 3 months ago

I could have got one of these things a million years ago. But I felt that I did not really need one. I convinced myself that my android was good enough. I was wrong. I got the 4s and it is amazing! It’s not that it has more features then my android, it is just that all the features work properly! I could have got the 5 but there is no LTE in Hawaii. I don’t think that I will ever have another type of phone! I can see my stocks, use bloomberg, use mint, fb is fast. If you got some extra money to blow then do it! It is simply a great phone! 6 months ago

It’s on its way, currently in China but should be here by the end of the week! 6 months ago

But it won’t get here for a few more weeks. Gives me time to save, and to remember how lucky I am to be getting one :) 7 months ago

Okay, I got an iPhone for GV. Verizon is offering the iPhone 4 for free with a 2 yr contract. Considering I’ve lasted longer than the original company I started out with in 1995 and each subsequent company has been bought out buy another, I’m now to Verizon, that bought out Alltel. I’ve been a customer now for 17.5 yrs, maybe a little longer. Wow!

I think if you make 10 yrs with a company being a patron with a good payment history, they should give you special discounting, like 10% off your bill. If you’ve been with the company 15 yrs – 15%, 20 yrs – 20%.

Anyway, I now have a contact at Verizon to call for stuff like this and he will see what he can do for me. He’s in Tampa, FL and he’s given me his direct line. Eventually, I’ll want to add another line for our kids, at least 1, if not 2.

It’ll cost another $40 to add this new line for GV. Got the phone # and it’s a really good phone #. Love all the #s.

I’m also going to get an Otterbox Defender protector case for it on Amazon. The Verizon guy was understanding that if I can get it for nearly free with my gift cert from Amazon, it’s a better deal than the $37+tax I would pay at Verizon with a 20% discount.

I think I will end up paying maybe $1 or so for the protective case and it will be in Camouflage, which GV loves. This smartphone will be a huge upgrade from what he already has and this phone is way nicer than mine. I have a basic phone.

Though I’m due for an upgrade, right now I don’t want to do an upgrade. That will cost me an additional $30+tax and then another $10 to up my plan to one that accommodates 2 smartphones. Right now, my plan allows me to have 1 smartphone and as many basic phones as I want.

When GV and I start making decent money, we’ll get the kids their own line (will give my phone to them and upgrade to a smartphone possibly).

This was the happy medium to get 1 smartphone rather than 2. I hope GV will be very happy with the iPhone 4. He currently has a very old cell that still has T9. 7 months ago
