Welcome home, sion! (Have you thought of where the new digs might be?)

Thanks, 'Face! Just got home a bit ago and am now unpacked. Overall a good trip home, except for the cellphone going haywire when I tried to turn it on in Cleveland. It would boot up, sit there for a few seconds, and suddenly turn off. I was able to ascertain that the SIM card had failed (there went the phonebook!). Fortunately they still have payphones so I could call LoM and apprise her of the situation.

On the way home we bought a new SIM card, but it wasn't until after I got home to find the phone was still shutting off I learned the rest of it.

I had installed (and activated -- oops) a SIM-card change alarm utility. If the SIM card is swapped for any that aren't on the list I enter into the utility, it can send a text message (with the new phone#) to another mobile, in this case LoM's.

There is also an option to turn the mobile off and that was also set! Fortunately, if you know what you are doing, it stays on long enough to turn that option off.

Whew.

And yes, I have some possible new homes in mind for next month.

I know nothing of a SIM card, as I have yet to upgrade my phone. Maybe when I get my stimulus check, I’ll treat myself to a camera phone...:o])

Have you rested up?
