Well, I finally bought a cell phone. I did it because I was pissed. I went to look at a building for sale last week, and was supposed to then call DH before he left his work so he could go see it too. I had several other places to go, so I thought I could easily find a phone. Yeah, sure. I never noticed before that there aren't phone booths everywhere any more. In fact, I couldn't find one period. And stores and such won't let you use their phones either. Got to keep an open line for business, you know. So I finally went to the big store that shall remain nameless and bought a prepaid phone. I couldn't activate it right then, so I browbeat the little girl who sold it to me into letting me use her phone to call DH.
Since I am about as far from a techie as you can get, it took me a couple of hours to get it activated with the website. I still couldnt figure out how to make a call, but took it along to Quilting in the Desert.
I was going to be later getting home than I had planned, so I had somebody show me how to make a call (Duh, punch in the number and press send) and I was able to call DH and tell him not to wait up. Thought I was so smart. I have made a couple of calls since then. But now I need to know how to receive a call and have had no luck using the instruction book or the website either. They seem to assume a certain level of familiarity with this stuff and skip the very basic. I finally had to email the company and am now waiting to hear from them. I have called the cell from my home phone and get a message that my call is being forwarded to a mailbox. I don't WANT it to be forwarded; I WANT it to ring, or vibrate, or whatever, and it won't. And I have no idea how to access that mailbox either. Anyway, I hope somebody nice will answer my email and give me some answers.
