Cell phone mania.My cell phone arrived last night, and I waited for this morning to activate it. Turns out, you have to have another phone to call a number before you can activate your phone. So, I drove into town. I dialed the number, and while I was on hold, they tell me that if I activate online (I didn't even know you could do that) I would receive a bunch of bonus minutes. I'm all about free things, so I drove back home, got on the computer, clicked to the address they gave me, and nope, couldn't do it. I had to drive back to town!
This cell phone business is aggravating! Did I mention that after sleeping all night with the cell phone in my room, that I got up this morning with a stomach ache? I'm sure the cell phone caused that, too! ;-)
Anyway, back to town I go, and successfully activate the phone. So, I called myself and left myself a voicemail message, just so I could test that out. Then, I couldn't figure out how to access the messages! I kept getting into the voicemail system, but it wouldn't let me hear the messages. The instructions in the manual were sadly lacking. After I got home, I got online and ended up having to call the phone company. They said to call the provider, so I did. I got a recording with poor voice quality and still couldn't make heads or tails out of what to do. I finally found some instructions online that worked. Meanwhile, I had already spent $5 of my initial $20 just trying to figure the thing out!
This is the most stressed I've been in weeks! But, the cool thing is that Jadwiga could send me text messages from Germany! And with her help, I figured out how to send her text messages! Is that cool or what!? Of course, we can chat online for free, but right now, it's not half as much fun!
Did I mention that I have my ringer set to a rooster crowing? I like that.
