Tanya was excited to get a new phone. Her old phone had an ongoing conflict between the battery and the battery cover. They would frequently fight about who knows what and the battery cover always lost. Every time. This continued for two years, until just recently they suddenly started getting along. Too bad for them... it's too late.
The kids have been sharing a phone for the last two years and it's worked out pretty good.
Well, it's worked out pretty good for T and I. It hasn't worked out too well for Mikayla because it's just a plain-jane basic phone. Without a texting plan, the phone pretty much sat in the dark corners of her backpack where none of her friends would see it. Sometimes it would accidentally get used. When no one was looking.
As for Alexia, she couldn't really care less about the phones yet. She's happy to use any phone she can locate.
So, you can imagine that we were all excited about getting new phones.
The process only took 3 visits to the Verizon website, one call to customer service and no less than six visits to a Verizon kiosk or store. I'm pretty sure I spent more time picking out my cell phone and family plan than I spent selecting my college.
T & I settled on the enV Touch and the kids got the Chocolate Touch phone. (Reviews here, if you're shopping for a phone).
The bad news was that the Kids Chocolate Touch phone wasn't in stock and would be shipped directly to the house.
We went home and while T & I tried to figure out how to work these new gadgets, Mikayla and Alexia went to work writing up their new rules for their fancy phone.
Once the rules were solidified, Mikayla came over and taught us how to use our new phones.
Thanks Mikayla (for making me feel old)!
