Communication in the Country

OK, I admit I was the LAST person in the universe to get a cell phone and I probably just did it to spite the land line people who jack up their "packages" and rates all the time. I was a faithful 5 fave TMobile customer, however there is NO TMobile coverage at "The Beast". In fact, when I check for TMobile coverage in the town there is a big dark spot right on my block which gave me the impression that it was some black hole of no cyber signals. I really liked my TMobile 5 faves because I don't really talk on the phone, except for my 3 bestest friends and one of those friends takes up two of my 5 fave numbers due to house phone and cell phone. The last of the 5 faves is my daughter's number even though we communicate with email instead of phone....and I just stuck her in the 5 faves so I could fill up that space and not appear lame.

So anyway, I took the plunge and am cancelling my TMobile contract due to the new address and non-coverage. They are politely allowing me to dump them with no penalty because they can't provide service for me when I am at "The Beast" which is fair.

I have switched to Verizon. Evidently the commercials are true and all those people are following me around at "The Beast" because there is super-duper coverage out there in the country. Go figure. Not only did I switch....but I also upgraded to super-duper 3G phone with the Droid Eris. It's all touch screen and internet searching capable and little popular apps all over the place and the little green Android greets me each time I use it.

I just received it today and will go cancel out the TMobile peeps tomorrow. Thus far I am pleased, and will test out my Beast coverage when I go out there on Friday. I shall just call everyone I know to celebrate the ability to do so....out in the almost middle of nowhere of southern Illinois.
