One of the sad things about Megan living with her father is that he has no phone – he’s afraid I’d get the number or something to that effect. So about two years ago I got Megan a prepaid Virgin Mobile phone. I kept the phone “topped-off” for her because it was meant for her to be able to call me and to make urgent phone calls.
When the phone became a convenient form of communication for her father, I suggested Megan let him help pay for the minutes too. So that’s been happening – but lately Megan has been spending close to $100 a month to keep the phone topped off.
That got me thinking – her father is on Verizon Wireless and so am I. Since those are the bulk of her call it would be a smart thing to get her a Verizon Wireless cell phone too. Granted he wasn’t going to do that for her – but fortunately Megan has a wonderful uncle that has been taking good care of her – so now Megan and her uncle have Verizon Wireless cell phones.
Now I don’t have to worry about my measly 400 minutes a month getting eaten up as quickly now either – I’ve already used up over 370 this month and I still have a week to go! Argh…
Well, this wasn’t going to be my topic de jour. I’ll save “still a joiner” for later – when I have more time (and minutes) to devote to it.
