New Cell Phone - Sunday, August 5, 2007
Our Verizon Wireless contract has been expired and we've been keeping the service on a month-to-month basis. But the service has been pricey and reception's not that great on the hill where we live, so we decided to switch to AT&T, which would save us $10 a month on their cheapest family plan of 550 minutes per month. So today we drove down to Monterey Park, where Asian people and Asian stores abound, and there's a cell phone store on almost every block (which translates to dealers competing for your business).
We got to keep our current phone numbers, and for our three lines we got three phones and bluetooth headsets for free. I chose for myself a black Samsung SGH-A707, nicknamed the Sync. It owns my old phone in almost every way- it's thin and fashionable, the menus are sensible, the camera is decent, and the MP3 player rocks. And I'm enjoying using my headset to talk while driving and not risk getting ticketed.
Most importantly though, the reception up at my house is a lot better. Which means I'll actually answer my phone now!
