Telephone again?

In my last post I told you about forgetting my cellphone in the cart at the grocery store. When I realized what I had done I figured I could call and ask if they found it. Not smart but it is funny now. Well this morning I decided to bring my house phone to my son's house to make some calls that would be long calls and I am trying to save on my cellphone minutes. As I was driving over here with the house phone in the car I started laughing at the thought that came to my mind. I did have a good idea but they don't have house phone service here. So much for saving my cellphone minutes. This is just another incident with a phone that I just have to laugh about.

I don't have the minutes problem, I use Straighttalk via Walmart and for almost $50 a month I get unlimited minutes to talk and text plus a few GB data if I want to go online.

It is a prepaid phone service that you can pay for online @velvet53 every month I buy a phone card on Walmart.com and load it into the Straighttalk.com account I have, you can even use your own phone number and phone most of the time. I've had the same phone # for 8 years.

First of all you were suppose to paint your phone with some bright colors, did you do it?

I also do such things which makes me laugh later on!

I am really feeling bad that your planning of saving some minutes on your Cellphone didn't work for you!

But the life is much more than those Cellphone minutes and Landline services! Just keep cool and enjoy it!

As I have read that you were bringing you "home phone" (landline) I was going to ask if your son still has a landline.

You certainly have had some phone problems. We use Verizon and have unlimited minutes. It's wonderful not to worry about using them all up.

I get 750 minutes a month on my cell. Normally they will last all month but there is times when I have to buy more and I don't like doing that.

i left my phone at the bank last week. thankfully, the other client sitting next to us noticed and gave it to the bank staff who attended to us. it looks like you got great advice from rebelann. i hope the other service will work well for you, too.
