Time for a Cell Phone Upgrade
I’m almost to the point where I’m ready to replace my older cell phone with a shiny brand new phone so I went into the Verizon store at the mall. I’m not sure if they do this everywhere, but here they have a “greeter” who takes your name and puts it on their list - presumably that helps with customer service by making sure that people don’t wait too long. I don’t really like the flip style phone, too many people I know walk around with them half open when they get caught on something - and pretty soon the hing is busted. I also don’t care for all the danged “features” more aptly named distractions: cameras, games, music, GPS functions, etc.
Come on! It’s a freaking phone!
Sorry, started to hyperventilate there…
After only a few moments, long enough for me to look around and decide that I like the Kyocera “bar phone”, I am called over the the counter to talk to one of the sales people. I ask her if she can check up on my account since I remember that I should be able to get a free phone. She looks it up and then tells me, “Yes you are eligible for an upgrade.”
“Which phone can I get?”
“Any phone in the store.” (Some may cost a little out of pocket)
“Well, I really like this phone.”
“You can’t get that one with your plan.”
huh? “Any phone” indeed.
