New Phone Number
Tue, 27 Feb 2007.
Hey guys, my new mobile phone number is: +1 425 442 4030.
Don’t get me started about how outdated the phone technology is nor how idiotic the billing systems are.
Here are the parameters of my plan:
International calls and messages not included
- 300 minutes of talk-time per month (calls made and received)
- 400 SMS per month (messages sent and received)
- Unlimited dial-up speed internet
- Unlimited talk-time from 9pm to 7am
- Unlimited talk-time on weekends
- Unlimited talk-time to 5 nominated US numbers (can be changed each month)
Ok. So it’s actually a pretty good deal. Except that I have to pay extra for sending (not receiving) international SMS.
Cost? Available to the average human being at about US$50 per month.
DRAGON! ROAR!
What phone did I get? The tired, lame, old Motorola RAZR V3. Except that his one has a dragon on it. Otherwise, it’s the same crappy RAZR you’ve learnt to hate; the closer you get the more you hate it.
RAWR!
- “Oh, it’s quite slim and attractive.”
- “Oh, the keypad is backlit with cyan.”
- “Oh, the keys are annoying to press.”
- “Oh, the menus are really ugly.”
- “Oh, that aren’t that many features.”
Paris Hilton jokes are so 2006
It’s the Paris Hilton of phones. Looks expensive but once you own it, it feels pretty cheap and nasty.
No Hello Kitty?
Well, I had to decide what would make me look more Asian: a dragon or Hello Kitty. In the end I chose the dragon because I can always buy more creepy Hello Kitty stuff later.
How are you going to attach the Hello Kitty to you phone though?
Have you taken any photos with your non-3megapixel camera yet?
The RAZR has a 1.3 MP camera. I’ve taken like… 3 photos. Pretty boring really.
