Fucking phone

I've been having problems with my cellphone lately, and for no reason! I get texts, like, three days after they're sent to me, and for some reason after only a day or two, my battery dies!

I don't know why; this has never happened before! So it's either time to get rid of my cellphone forever or see if I can get a new one that is simple and not full of too much shit that would give me Crackberry disease.

So annoying. I actually really like my phone. I don't get why this is happening now after a year or two of flawless performance. Maybe the fact that my dad was its previous owner has something to do with it...

I know you don't want to get hooked on a crackberry but I think virgin mobile has a deal on right now where you can get unlimited text, unlimited bbm, and evenings/weekends after 5pm for only 30 bucks a month.

And virgin kind of does what koodo does and will give you a tab for your phone rather then a contract. So basically the phone costs X amount of dollars and I think 3% of what you pay towards your bill goes to paying that tab. Once the tab is up you can quit them or get a new phone.

Yeeeah...I'm actually starting to wonder if this is the push I need to just drop my cellphone altogether.

Like having no cellphone at all? Cause to be honest, I'd prefer a cellphone to a landline. I'm never home anyways. And I'd never pay for both. For me a cellphone is just better because texts can sit there and wait for me (I should get voicemail though). Texting isn't more or less expensive if you're long distance texting.

I'm thinking maybe a pager. Do they still sell those?

Maybe I'll stop by Wind Mobile near my work and see if they have pagers. I just am very sick of having a cellphone.

I pager would be a decent idea. I don't know if you need a service provider for those though. And if you do, I'm not sure who still provides it.

I could ask if they do end up having them. If not, well, I may just trash the cellphone idea for a while. Really, I'm not that popular to need a cellphone that I have to pay $55 a month for. It's not worth it.

If the pager service ends up being 30+ dollars though I'd still end up getting a cellphone. Maybe pay as you go?

Both pay-as-you-go and a basic cellphone would be a good idea. I dunno. I just am starting to see less and less of a point.
