I Had To Get A New Phone, Again.
So, the shitty refurbished phone Sprint sent me last month as a replacement stopped working this morning.
It was fully charged, but it wouldn't turn on anymore.
So the first chance I had, I went to the Sprint store in Downtown Crossing to get a new one. I marched into the store and walked up to the first available rep I saw and said...
"My replacement phone you sent me last month has stopped working. I need a replacement. And I can't extend my contract because I may be moving in 9 months. So what do you have to show me?"
Well, turns out, they don't have much. I ended up with this ghetto phone...
Please note the buttons...
And the lack of a camera feature.
This lovely piece of shite cost me well north of $100. And I would have just scrapped it and gotten month-to-month phone from Verizon or other service provider... But seeing as both my husband and I have filled out immigration paperwork for each other's home countries with my current cell number, I wasn't going to switch phone numbers.
Oh... If and when I do get to Canada, I am going straight out and getting whatever super slick piece of technology is available at the time. I am through with ghetto phones!

Most carriers insist on you agreeing to a two-year contract. And I can't do two years.
