(2006-02-28) Verizon Cellular

We're switching from Cingular (originally ATT) to Verizon for Cell Phone service.

It must have taken an hour to go through the paperwork, partially because... (but also because their systems stink - you have to enter the "right" phone to order, it doesn't give you the pick-list, so when a unit number changes you have to try again)
Jihi needs a "World Phone" - (Sam Sung Sch A795) which they don't even carry in the stores, so you have to activate the service, and then wait for them to ship you a phone
- I did the purchase on Sunday, and the guy said the phone would arrive Tuesday. Of course, it shipped Tuesday using 2nd-day, so it will arrive Thursday.
- she had lots of problems using the World Phone in Europe. And she has since broken the antenna mounting - hopefully Super Glue will do the job, since the warranty doesn't cover such things.
  - there were enough other problems that she got a replacement.
