So against what will probably turn out to have been my better judgment, I went ahead and switched from AT&T Digital One Rate to AT&T GSM National, or whatever. People across this great nation of ours really seem to hate it, but all the reviews I've read of it locally have been really positive. Also, I've always gotten good reception off of AT&T around here in places where my Sprint and Verizon-carrying family members get like none, so we'll see.
I'm Forever Nokia's Girl so I got one of these. My poor ancient 3360 has been acting up ever since I, uh, dropped it on the concrete repeatedly the day we were getting moved out of California, breaking it into two, three and six different pieces each time. It still works, but it's just a little angry at me. I'm going to miss my bitchin' paisley cover though. Thank goodness this new phone has switchable covers (XPRESS-ON!) — I don't know what I'd do without them. And no camera or video or any of that crap. It does have exciting FLASHING LIGHTS however.
I did the whole thing online since I abhor having to interact with actual humans. I hope that won't turn out to be a Big Mistake. I've been a customer since 1999 and I've been month-to-month for over a year. You'd think that would inspire them to give me a big fat incentive or something. Oh well. It's incentive enough that I'll be paying $20 less per month for the same minutes/free roaming/free long distance as I was getting before with free night and weekend minutes on top of that.
Of course, maybe I'll wind up hating GSM and giving it back before my 30-day trial is up.
Or maybe they'll decide to kill off my 917 number and give me a local one without warning me first.
And maybe they'll keep charging me for two different plans in the meantime. Or forever.
OK, now I'm worried.
