When you live full time in an RV you do not have a standard phone. You have a cell phone. If there are two of you, you probably each have a cell phone. We have two phones.
Dave’s is an iPhone with a contract at AT&T. Mine is a dumb phone with a contract long expired but still being used at T-Mobile. One of these days I’m going to get an iPhone with Verizon.
Why? Let me tell you what happened today.
An email informed us our friends Steve and Carol would be moving into the same park we are in today. We said, if they let us know when they got here, we could get together and do something. So they came, they called, but we didn’t know.
You see my dumb phone does not get a signal in this park and I forgot to tell Steve and Carol about that. So they called my phone and left a voice message. This was apparently early afternoon. But, my phone did not tell them I would not get that message.
So we spent the afternoon wondering what happened to them while they spent the afternoon wondering what happened to us. We finally decided they didn’t make it here today so went out to supper.
In town, my phone rang to tell me I had a voice mail. From Steve. Hours ago.
I returned his call using Dave’s phone and we’ll meet up tomorrow.
Dumb phone!
TTYL,
Linda
And, I thought it was AT&T that didn’t work there. Silly me … we don’t stay at parks we don’t get cell or internet service more than one or two days.
Fortunately the SCT Wireless booster that you were waiting on has come out in the large and small RV versions. I just received mine, though I haven’t had the chance to install it yet. So much to do before going full-time at the end of March!
I switched from a dumb phone to a semi-stupid phone (cheaper data plan than a smart phone) and could NOT be happier! I can check my email from my phone and google whenever I want. I don’t turn on my computer as much anymore. AT&T is mad at me at the moment though because I have been off their network, using other companies’ towers, which is against my contract appparently.
Tell everyone we say hi!
