Phone. Busted!

Yeah, it's official. The old cell phone is kaput, if only because the keypad no longer works, which is kind of a problem since it means I can't make phone calls or do much of anything, including turning the damn thing off without manually popping out the battery.

After a while wrestling with the AT&T website I found out that I'll only be able to keep my current number and balance if I buy a new phone at one of their stores, wrecking my plans to do it online since I don't want to have to buy a new plan since I'm so incredibly cheap. I'll probably go over to one of their stores tomorrow or sometime soon to do that, probably by the weekend. Until then I just have to survive without a phone, and even though I've plastered it all over my Facebook wall I just know someone who didn't get the message is going to try to call me.

Luckily I get paid tomorrow and the money from Suffolk should (emphasis on should) be showing up Friday, so it's not as big a blow as it could be. It's still irritating.

Why don't you give them your *gasp! how quaint!* landline number?

giggling.. I think you twittered it to death. I bet you can get an awesome deal on EBay or even if you put the word out for a comparitive price you are willing to pay for the same Service Provider. Can't hurt.??

Oof! You and phones don't seem to get along.

I always thought you keep your number and balance if you just plug the simcard in a different phone. That's how it works over here anyway.
