In the last week I've decided that it is time for me to change cell phone carriers. It's been something that I've been considering, but not seriously because I still have about a year left on the contract for my phone and nine months left on Casey's. I don't fancy paying $200 a line to cancel my contract. This being said, I am currently using an internet connection (aircard) that will be terminated in 3 days. This is the most cost effective internet that I can get. My drive is a half mile long, pretty much straight to the street, so cable is out of the question. I don't watch enough TV anymore to even try and justify getting satellite, and use that internet connection. This house was built in the early 1900's and doesn't have a phone line run to it either. Besides, dial up is way too slow for it to be a real consideration.
Once I was told that the aircard was being canceled I tried find a solution so that I wouldn't lose my internet. Nothing worked out, and I feel that I have been lied to and betrayed by the company that I have been faithful to since I owned my first cell phone. I went over to AT&T immediately after leaving Alltel and found out that I was approved for 3 lines with no deposit. Had I found out this out, I would already (theoretically) have the new iPhone 4 tethered to my computer for internet access. Unfortunately the pre-order process was no longer active when I decided to finally switch...
On Tuesday the 29th I'll be waiting in line to get my new iPhone 4. I still haven't decided what time I'll jump in line. As most of the world knows, at AT&T stores they'll be starting to serve customers that did not pre-order this remarkable phone. Right now I'm mentally preparing myself to camp out in front of the store to make sure that I am able to get a phone. I've never done that sort of thing before. I've never arrived super early on black friday at a store to get a super price on a computer, or camped out for a movie premiere. There's a first time for everything though. I'm just hoping that the line at my local store isn't crazy long by the time that I get in line. It's not like I live in New York or Hollywood or anything.
So in Conclusion, and to paraphrase the last line of FanBoys... "I hope it doesn't suck!"\
