Can You Kill Me Now!

I spent a lot of time on the phone with, and at, Verizon Wireless.

About two weeks ago my phone would reboot anytime I went into my inbox. I dropped it off last Wednesday [April 23rd] to have the software updated. A few hours later I came back to pick up my phone. It was just before closing and they told me "We tried to update the software and now it won't boot up at all. Come back tomorrow and we'll get you a new one."

The next day I went back to get my new phone. I also decided to up the minutes on my family plan from 700 shared minutes per month to 1400 minutes with unlimited text messaging.

Why? Since I've been contacting potential partners to support our church plant, I have been over our alloted minutes for two consecutive months. Our bill was usually $90/mo. Now it's been steady at a horrendous, $180 per month.

As they were finalizing the settings on my new cellphone into Verizon store comes Sondra, my wife, flustered carrying Selah.

What are you doing here I asked? I can't find my phone, can you call it?

Long story short, Sondra lost her phone. We had to call and suspend service until we knew it was gone for sure. On Tuesday of this week we went and got her a new phone. She got the an LG-VX8350.

But you thought this was the end of the story... Oh No! Now we are looking at adding two more cellphones to our family plan. One for my Mother and the other for my Brother.
