| I really wanted to show how my phone looked like a monolith from 2001 space Odyssey |
My new cell phone came in
today. And that should be a good thing right? But it means I have to
do new things that really kind of freaks me out. I know this is all
very trite and obviously by the people amount of people jumping ship
from the current carriers to Consumer Cellular I should be in good
company. I feel like a traitor. I am currently with Verizon on a
prepaid account. In all honesty I don't trust the big corporations
and Verizon is a big Corporation. I went to a prepaid account because
I did not necessarily trust them on the regular accounts. And I must
admit. I really don't have an issue, personally, with the
Corporation. I've got my service of the month with little or no
issues. So I'm probably just feeling guilty for trying to do
something good for myself at this corporate giants expense.
I knew I was going to have
to do this, transfer service from Verizon to Consumer Cellular and
it's a process I feel inadequate to do. In all honesty many of the
times I've had to do this kind stuff I've relied on DD or someone
else. I've just got to keep reminding myself this is just a process.
I mean quite seriously the person on the other end of the phone at
Verizon is just doing their job. Going to have to get my pin number
and my password. I didn't even know I had I didn't even know I had a
My Verizon account. I obviously have never used the account. So I
have to get this information and then I call this national 888 number
for Consumer Cellular or suppose they would pick up the ball better
and run with it. I remember now last time I get this I have the sales
guy do that transfer or “porting”. This is the magical zip zip
where everything on the old phone is ported to the new phone. This
would include all of the writing files I've done on the phone, music,
videos and all the images and perhaps most importantly by phone
directory even though hardly ever uses numbers just feels right.
I've gone back to Samsung
finally learned my lesson. I currently have a Motorola cell phone
which calls itself “Moto” and has a somewhat sexy Japanese voice
announces its presence of a time it comes to life. I have had a Moto
before and that didn't really like it. The service is just not
adequate for me I don't know why I returned to Moto this last time
but I did and again , I have not been please especially the past two
months when my talk text TT began to fail. I suppose it's a little
thing that I used TT a lot. I especially use this feature when I'm
lying in bed, usually in the morning, and have a great idea for a
blog entry and start dictating. I've really enjoyed this feature.
It's to be something in the microphone because I also noticed a
couple of phone calls people could not hear me when I answer my
phone. I suppose the universe and the Samsung God was telling me it
was time to return. Now, I don't totally love Samsung especially all
the information gathering systems, machines and what else. But I have
had Samsung before so I pretty much know what to expect. I'll be a
lot happier when I have finished porting and can start being a happy
Consumer Cellular customer…
