Efficiency
Technology is suppose to make life more efficient...in a perfect world. It looks like my family and I are nearing the end of a cellular phone contract. This is a true blessing, as our cell service is inconsistent. Dropped calls, broken up phone conversations, inability to retrieve voicemail messages and no service at all are daily problems in our household. Researching a new company, plan and phone options is dizzying. Can I mention, expensive? Fees for activation, fees for data and fees for texting bundles add up to a used car payment. I am taking a step backwards and looking at the big picture. I need my phone for emergencies and a picture or two from time to time. The iPad has solved the issue of accessing web-based information while I am away from home. What I need is a usable cell phone that will keep me in touch with family, friends and co-workers. All the rest is fluff. I suppose my efficiency is simplicity.

Melissa I certainly understand the frustrations of an inconsistent cell service. However there are so many options out there I only hope you find the one that will accommodate and satisfy you and your family’s needs.
ReplyDeleteAfter much deliberation, I decided upon AT&T and the iPhone 3GS.
ReplyDeleteI compared phones by price, options and data plans. The data plans are consistent, regardless of the phone. Therefore, I realized that going with a droid would be silly, as I have so many Apple products already. The best part was that the phone itself was only $.99! I have had the phone a week now, and am still attempting to break old habits. Walking outside to find a signal is no longer necessary!
