Phone Number 4, 5 and 6


The next three phones go all together. I received my new Blackberry Curve for free, it is now for certain that every employee at Verizon knows me by face...and almost by name. Anyways, so I lucked out by resigning a two-year contract and received the new Blackberry Curve. Of course I was so excited...but just my luck 2 weeks after using this phone I decided to download a cool new application while waiting for my laundry to dry. About two minutes later the screen turned white and said App Error. Apparently when a phone turns white and says "App Error" it means that the hard drive has crashed. Just my luck. So I frantically run back to my room and explain to my roommate the situation. She of course is laughing because go figure this would happen to me. And within the next hour I was already back at the Verizon counter pleading my case to a new found Verizon employee/friend named "Joe". They handed me a new phone in the box the very same day. This NEW phone lasted a solid three months before it experienced a toilet incident in the bathroom during Potbelly's Happy Hour. I was reaching for my phone and my hand knocked it into the toilet. I plunged my hand into the toilet and pulled out my phone. I ripped the battery out and stuck it under the hand dryer. My phone continued to work just fine for 3 more weeks until out of nowhere the screen faded to black. I was back at Verizon using my first insurance claim, and two days later my beloved UPS man delivered my phone to me. This third phone was recently stolen in Panama City. I need to get a go-phone or a conch shell.

  1. If I were your parents I would get You one of those "Jitterbug" phones, the ones for old people. I hope you have insurance on these phones.
