Getting Free Stuff

If you haven’t already, read the item below about my decision to get rid of my traditional cell phone for a pre-paid phone in an attempt so save money. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

*whistles*

OK, now, as Paul Harvey used to say, here’s the “rest of the story.”

When I first got my new phone, I had little trouble transferring the number to my new phone. Of all the things associated with this decision, that worried me most since I use the phone for personal and work stuff. I didn’t need a hiccup with this to get me in trouble at work.

After that happened, I went to activate the new phone. I had a little trouble at first and needed to call customer service. They had me put in some codes, and the phone started working fine. I was slightly annoyed I couldn’t do it online, but it didn’t bother me that much.

The service came with 10 free minutes, but I had bought a card for 400 minutes. All the advertisements said adding minutes was a snap. You could do it either through thephone or online. Piece of cake, I thought. Until I tried.
