Who knew shopping for a new cell phone carrier would be so hard? First of all the commercials lie. No I cannot "hear you now." It all started when I complained about my current phone. Specifically that it doesn't hold a charge to save its life. We figured as long as we were shopping for new phones maybe should get a better plan. Ever since we moved last year (to the other end of town) our phones don't work at our house. So Tom & I moseyed (sp?) over to Sprint. We were caught up in the magic of it all. I was hook, line and sinker when the sales dude proudly displayed a lavender and white model complete with digital camera. Tom picked out the masculine version and we strolled out heads held high. Yeah that was until we drove home and realized the coverage was WORSE. Now technically our phones got a signal on our street. But unfortunately it was about five houses down. So unless we want to talk a walk every time we get on the phone it's not gonna work.
Tonight we regrouped at the mall and visited kiosk after kiosk in search of the best deal. We discussed it over the special at China Wok and decided to think it over at home. Remember at this point I have a my old phone and a shiny new one at home. Tom is in the same boat. Although his seems to work where ever he goes. Proving my theory that if I just stay away from Massachusetts I'll be better off. But I digress. So the plan is to return the Sprint phones (which I knew better than to get emotionally attached to) and go with either Verizon or Cingular. I know, a real cliffhanger.
