Cell Phone Woes...

[etakyma]

I have had a cell phone for almost five years. I've had the same damned plan for about the same amount of time. I am ready for an upgrade. I want an upgrade. But since my old phone died last November I am not eligible for an upgrade with a discounted phone.

Damn it. I can not see spending over $350 on a phone that is being sold with new contract for under $200 to new customers. Why do they make it so hard to stay with the service that has been Just Fine for over five years? I have 18 months before this contract is up... and then I am so shopping for a new cell phone provider. Because... GGGGRRRR... This is annoying.

ETA: And if this wasn't annoyance enough for one day, I went to the office supply store to replace my color ink cartridge on my printer? An ENTIRE WALL of printer ink - and the lone empty hook was for my color ink cartridge! Not my day to get things done, I guess.

Yeah, sadly, I now have to wait a year and a half to get out of my contract.

I am hoping it will be a blessing in disguise. That's possible, right? I don't really need a fancier cell phone, after all. I can get along quite well without it. And just because I want something doesn't mean it should happen.

One would think the cell phone company would *want* you to upgrade your service plan and pay them more money every single month, but you'd be wrong.
