Look, I have been extremely patient with my old wireless phone provider. I arrived here at the States 7 years ago and that’s how long I have been with them. I don’t like breaking relationships but if it’s not really working then I have no choice but severe the ties . I can’t go on paying $34/month for a cellphone that drains as soon as I turn it on and a wireless network that I can’t use when I go places(I stay within areas with civilization). All I need is a real working wireless phone. I only want to have a dependable way of communicating where ever I go within the Continental US. I only require a signal and not some multi-functioning entertainment system in my phone. Just imagine that I got used to turning on my 2 year old phone whenever I need to call someone, I can’t get called because I need to turn it off to conserve battery. Why not buy another battery you say? Well, the battery drain happened early on when the phone was new and I didn’t want to buy a battery for a newly bought phone. So I have been waiting for my 2 year contract to expire and I didn’t realize that I could have switch last July! (I tried accessing my online account once and the site was down so it just slipped my mind to check when my term was up.)

Now, I have a real working Nokia 6555 phone with a signal at places I normally go to! I still have to remind myself these days that it’s OK to turn the phone on because the battery is not going to drain that quickly just being on. I will only buy Nokia, Ericsson and Motorola phones from now on. [Read more...]
