Micah Ministries ... Cleaned out my closet donating all those t-shirts, shorts, summer shoes for Micah Ministries who serves dinner
to the homeless while providing clothing, toiletries, and prayers. Save those empty prescription bottles.
Micah can use them to share shampoo in those empty bottles.

New smartphone updateok ... new cell phone update. I've been at Best Buy Mobile every day. They are sooooo patient. I hope that is
the customer service I provide you! I can now move my phone around and NOT set off my vertigo! Working on the
internet this week. I do have texting now. I have specific needs as I designed my laptop and am not running Vista~
Good thing I only paid $49.99 for this several hundred dollar phone.

Purchasing a new phone post Y2K ... a 3 day projectok ... when did you last purchase a new phone ... applicable to those who remember Y2K~
I
asked for help. My son ... "No but Good Luck mom", my techo brother and favorite sister-in-law didn't return
my calll; My cousin's sophomore daughter had to study for a final. She and I did have quite an discussion on the
benefits of all types.
I did my research. For my unique needs as a web designer, I set out to purchase a
Samsung Black Jack ii per the Consumer's report. I went to Verizon, where my son purchased his phone, they didn't have
the Samsung I wanted. ATT online showed it on-line.
Off to ATT. What a revelation. They weren't carrying
the model anymore. By this time I knew the Blackberry wouldn't work for my needs as a web designer. My research
mentioned the iphone ... made by Apple, sold through ATT ... ATT doesn't stock them ... go online. She tells me
Best Buy and Walmart sell iphones, ATT phones and use ATT plans.
Now I know I need a Mobile Windows to work the
for my laptop and desktop which I customed designed for the programs I choose ... Not VISTA ... XP Pro the best.
I go to Walmart ... less than 5 phones from iphone, ATT, T-Mobile ... You can't actually hold and no phones are live to
see if you want to purchase something on line ... I'm beginning to think ATT needs my marketing strategy. If I designed
a web site this hard to use I would have been out of business 6 years ago! I started my business 6 years go.
Totally frustrated, I go to Best Buy. I'm child in a candy store ... Exactly the same phones
I've seen at Verizon and ATT, also Sprint and t-mobile phones. At last, my day is redeemed, there it is. The Samsung
Black Jack ii is there. It gets better, I can hold it. Even better, I can text on it. It's in the bronze color
I wanted!
Hard to work, number pad doesn't exist ... I have to hold shift to use a 2 rather than an S ...
oh my gosh ... I'm back to .DOS 20 years ago. Yet so many people are using it. My dream phone in my hands
and the 2nd most difficult phone to the Blackberry ... very expensive, hard to use, plus I can't have access to a web
browser. Consumer's report alsp mentioned 2 other phones.
Aaron at Best Buy, 95th and Quivira, is very patient.
I choose the LG Incite. I had already been approved. We started to port my business line. My cell company was closed
at 8:30 pm. 11.5 hours later Day 2. Can't think of the Mobile Manager's name for the store, a great guy, keeping me
in cold water and talking technology.
Day 3, Aaron and his supervisor are working. I told them I would
return working around my client schedule to finish the porting and complete the process. They helped copied my Sims
card to my new phone ... So I can call you. You can even call me. My voice recording in place. My cell phone is
charging and I look at Blue Tooth.
My phone comes with Microsoft Windows. I can call you by saying your
name to my phone, I have a great camera, GPS included, Games for my grandsons, Live browser so I can look at any web site
on my phone as we visit about your web site, share video, flash, audio files though e-mails, Task Manager, Syncs with my Outlook
e-mail, I can record video too. Unlimited texting for all that social media & Twitter use.
The
best bargain shopper high~ A several hundred dollar phone for $49.99 NEW ...no refab. My price truly was $49.99.
I saved money to purchase Blue Tooth for safe driving. I can get my phone serviced and/or get assistance at ATT or Best
Buy. I have a month-to-month agreement for $9.00 that will cover if I spill water on my phone, should I drop it.
If it can't be fixed then they will provide me a loaner phone which my biz line for as long as necessary.
It didn't
take me this long to purhase my car, my home, design my custom laptop.
