Something I thought I'd never do. I got a cell phone today!
With Handi Transit if they are 10 minutes late to pick me up I'm supposed to phone them. That's not always possible because not all entrances that I get picked up at have a phone nearby, and if I leave the area and they come while I'm gone, I get charged a fine, even though I was gone to phone them
Plus that accident I was in in October made me feel very vulnerable. I was powerless to do anything when the driver refused to report the accident and I had to put up with being thrown around the back seat because of his reckless driving for an hour after that.
So I went and asked about cell phones and the next thing I know I'm signing up.
I got the phone free with a 3 year contract through my phone company. It's bundled so the monthly rate is cheaper. I didn't want any of the bells and whistles like texting, call waiting, call display etc. It does have a camera, video and MP3 capabilities though. I didn't really want that stuff but they don't seem to have cameras that don't have that stuff.
The guy looked at me like I had 3 eyes when I asked him if they had packages that only had about 60 or 90 minutes per month because I'd never use 350 minutes per week, or even in the month.
And he was shocked when I told him to just leave the phone in the box when he asked if I wanted to carry it in my purse.
Anyway, it's a pretty red Motorolla I think.
Because I declared bankruptcy last year, I had to give $100.00 deposit and in 6 months I can request it refunded or applied as a credit to my account. I was prepared for that.
