Funny you should write that, just when my Smartphone gave out, and wouldn’t boot back up! :(
My day tomorrow would be wasted at the AT&T store—35 miles away—AND 35 back...and might lack any communications for a day or two while things get fixed. ALL at great expense.
Not to mention this evening, where I’d lose-out on “everything” going on.
Maybe I should buy a TV?
With a good laptop you can access TV, email, texts and I believe phone service. I do believe smart phones and computers are really useful but I try to not depend too much on internet or phone service to rule my day in case it isn’t there.
