Mission Complete! 2 months ago

Well, my old phone finally decided today that it was going to refuse to charge, so I was forced to get a new one.

MP3 player, FM radio, custom ringtones (crappy quality, but hey), 1.3mp camera, which I very much will enjoy. It’s better than the last, plus my minutes are way cheaper! I’m down to $15 a month on Net10.

This only took me… six years.

My phone is coming apart, its really old now. My dream is to get a new phone, something I don’t have to feel ashamed of owning. Hmm, like maybe a NV or something like that (Verizon).



On the grid... 3 months ago

I’ve never had a cellphone before which is the equivalent to living in the stone age these days. Now, I can click the buttons myself! :P I actually needed it since I’m going to be on my own.

I spent two weeks weighing all my options, and decided on the iPhone despite the cost. I ordered the 3GS on June 15, but it’s still on backorder. I’m a little upset at AT&T since I’m coming from TMobile with its MUCH more helpful customer service.

Whenever I get the phone, I’ll have to pay a lot more attention to not dropping it, not leaving it in the open, etc. I’m so excited though!

I lost my new Virgin Mobile Arc at the beach, so I want to get a new one. Hopefully I can get another one with my b-day money. Wish me luck~



new phone!! 5 months ago

I’m also changing providers. My current phone is kind of old and super slow and it takes forever to text or call anyone. Also, it’s staring to do this thing where I get voicemails three days late and the phone never rings but it will notify me of the missed call afterward. I get very poor reception in my house which is bad because I don’t have a land line. So, it’s time for a new phone!! I’m ordering it on Friday so I’ll be home when it arrives on Saturday!! Whoo!!

...My charger broke and I realized that my phone is not giving me the capability for certain things. I went to the store this week and had a look at what’s out there. I feel like choosing a cell phone is like choosing your personality. Who do you want to be, this month?

I want an iPhone!!!!...3gs 6 months ago

My dad willingly bought me a Mint Chocolate almost immediately over a year ago. I texted too much, used up too many minutes, and ran up the bill to $235 the first month. I promised him I would not make the same mistake if he allowed me to keep my phone. The next month I ran up the bill to 535 dollars. it was the final straw so I got it taken away for a whole month. I used my skills in convincing my parents to let me prove my responsiblity and so I monitered my txts for months and months. The problem was that I was calling long distance numbers and my parents eventually found out and took it away this January. A month ago, my parents cut my phone number, so now I’m left with a piece of green useless plastic.

They said the only way I can get a new phone is if I pay for the plan and cell phone with my own money (considering if I do make any moolah). So, now I’m left trying to hunt for jobs in the city or at my school to pay for one.
