I just called to get an authorization return number for the jitterbug phone and to cancel my account. The first person I talked to was extremely pleasant and understanding, but had to get another person to handle the return. The return gal was absolutely the most arrogant and unpleasant person I've talked to in a long time. I did find out the reason they no longer have a Samsung jitterbug is because Samsung quit making flip phones. All of you who read my blog and have told me you use a flip phone should just protect your phone at all costs. If you need a new one you will never get the same kind again. What a shame!
Yesterday my son Steve took me to an ATT store nearby and we selected an Android phone - I think I have that correctly, and at any rate it is not an iPhone. I just dropped the damn thing trying to see if it is a Samsung, but I'm almost sure it is. It's going to take me a long time to get used to it, and it's a good thing I rarely use a phone. Now I have to make sure I ALWAYS keep it where the Destroyer can't reach it. Only yesterday, just hours after I brought it home, I caught him chewing the box it came in.
The rain has been heavy and constant until just a few hours ago, so I got a quick walk in. I think I might go out again before it starts back up.
So that's my news for today - I have to say that I just don't understand the attraction of this phone, although I suppose when you get used to it you can no longer do without it. To me, it is too big to carry around or to put into a pocket but people do, and I might end up like everyone else.
That is all I have to say right now, so cherish your flip phone if that is what you love and use, because there are few of them left!

I am not quite ready to give up my small flip phone.
ReplyDeleteJust keep it safe and don't drop it. And of course, keep it away from any animal that chews things!
DeleteThere’s no reason to give up your flip phone Go on eBay and find one
ReplyDeleteI've never been mch of an ebay shopper so I usually don't think to look there. I don't know why I fret about it as I really don't use a phone much at all. It's the idea that I have another line of communication.
DeleteStraight talk sells them and so does Metro. I want one. I have and android but my is and LG, I don't like it and yes they are to big but not nearly as some of this silly phones. Hope you get used to it and learn to enjoy it.
ReplyDeleteI've ordered a case for it and hope it arrives soon. Until then, it is sitting way up on top of a tall cabinet, in the box it came in.
DeleteI thought of you when I saw all the floods in California and people getting rescued. Glad you are not in the middle of that.
ReplyDeleteWe're ok for now, but when the snows melt this spring and summer and send all that water down the rivers, we could have a problem. I'm about a mile from the AmericanRiver and it's running very high right now. When I lived in CA in the 1980's, the news was always about water - too much, too little, drought, floods, etc. It went on and on, all the time. In those days our water wasn't even metered, but as the population grew all over the state Southern CA wanted more and more of our water.
