I only had a cell phone. Yes, very much past tense... which, thinking about it, is certainly true in other ways too.
My first cell phone ever, purchased right at a year ago at the age of 55. Tracfone, 800 minute card & free double minutes for the life of the phone card, 16 months of service in advance, 20 extra minutes for activating it online. Had had my landline disconnected earlier this year & was relying on the godless, wireless, inadequate contraption as a sole means of phone communications.
With 547 minutes remaining through April of next year, had tried to place a call several days ago whilst out on a good long walk. The call failed... again & again & again. "No service..." recording or something to the effect. This follows many failures of the blessed thing to acquire a signal while out in the boonies here, emergency calls a big reason in getting it in the first place, Tracfone because it was the least expensive long-term deal that could be found in my area at the time.
Having already been a challenging month & now the phone is messing up again, a decision was made. Few things relieve & ventilate one's mind & heart like making a decision. After calling Tracfone's Customer Service in the Dominican Republic & not understanding the nice but mumbling young woman info tech there to clear myself of this agravating situtation, the wee phone was raised up to the sky in a gesture of thankfulness, the phone then brought low with blurring speed as the air filled with colorful similies & with a solid ~crack~ the Tracfone hit the pavement & has failed to trouble me any more. It's purdy now though...
