Chris and I finally did it yesterday: we got new phones. This isn’t anything great for me, but for Chris, she was able to finally get rid of her 4-1/2 year old phone that couldn’t even send or receive text messages! Also, yesterday marks the last time I should have to deal with Sprint and its bad service for a long time, if not forever. I got a great deal on a "backup" phone — a $100 rebate on a $125 Samsung E105 to replace my year and a half old Motorola t720. Chris got herself a $120 Motorola V180 to replace her old Sanyo SCP-4500 phone. With these new phones, we changed my current T-Mobile Get More 600 plan to a Family Time 800 plan. Now, instead of paying $100+ per month for a T-Mobile line and a SprintPCS line, we’re only paying $70 per month for our two T-Mobile lines. This is something we definitely should have done back in June when the SprintPCS contract expired, but Chris was worried about money with the wedding and honeymoon. I’ll probably spend the next week playing around with my new phone. Chris has already done a lot of playing, mostly because she had no SIM card before to quickly transfer names and numbers between her old phone and her new phone. She’s downloaded ringtones, setup groups, and text messaged everyone she can, all within the first 24 hours after we bought the phones! I figure I’ll play around with my phone soon enough, no reason to do it all now.
