Up until 3 weeks ago I used a flip phone. It was a phone, it did it's job, it made calls. I was happy. Well it fineally died. I even had two exact backups, so I always had fully charged batteries. one by one they all stopped charging, so I bit the bullet and pulled my sim card out of the flip phone and put it one of the phones from my recycle company.
Many of you all know I recycle cell phones (got another 430 this weekend) Well I put that SIM in a smart phone and the next day I got an email from AT&T saying "thanks for upgrading to a smart phone we have added a $30 charge to your account for up to 3 GB data" WHAT?? I only used the phone to make calls. I couldn't even get on the internet.
I only chose the phone to use because it took the larger sim card size. It was a Blackberry look-alike. Those buttons are so small. So I went thru my stash of phones and found an iPhone 4 with a broken screen, charged it up and it worked great. I traded some sim cards to a phone repair shop and got a new screen.
I then went to a locally owned AT&T store and asked about my plan and to make a long story short he deleted that $30 charge that I got and said my old plan was obsolete and my new plan would be $5 less per month. No brainer, I said go for it. He pulled out a smaller sim and programmed it for my new (to me) i4 phone.
Smart phones seem OK, not thrilled with them yet. What would thrill me would be a program that would help me at yard sales. Is there a program that I can put on my phone where I can take a photo of something, it would be recognized and then go to ebay to see if they sell?
