Judie got a new cellphone today. It has been a struggle. Passwords that don't agree, new passwords, use of secondary EMail, setting up Primary EMail, lost apps, failure of transfer of specific data. In a word, frustrating.
The clerking helping us reset passwords to get into Kindle. Kindle is an Amazon product, so that password was reset. Well it was not reset, a new Amazon account was set up and Judie lost all her previous books, references, etc. from the old Kindle account. Good news is the new Kindle account results in 30 days of free stuff (books?). Is that good or bad.
We finally got AOL back as an EMail service. Except it is buried under a G Mail account.
Got to open G Mail, and then scroll down to AOL and open the EMail account. Sort of circle around and get issue. Disliked, why can't it just pull up AOL with out a ton of going around in circles. It simply means Samsung wants you to go to their preferred mail service and makes it harder to get to the mail service you want.
Good news is the new phone is taller and is all screen format. No buttons on the surface, just on/off on the side like always.
Sneaky way to pay for the phone now. One must lease the phone for 18 months and then buy the phone. Yes, you can buy it outright but it costs more that way. Means more cash flow for the leaser,
Sprint. Also means they got you for 18 months for sure. And probably at the end of 18 months there will be a Galaxy XX.
The memory chip for the old cellphone was moved over to the new phone. No charge for that. Oh, yeah, there was a charge for the screen cover and case. That is a must requirement as the Galaxy 8 has glass on the front and back. No dropping this phone.
Well, Judie does not like change but she will gradually adapt the new cellphone and then will not be able to live without it. But there will be some frustration until she gets it all down.
Life goes on . . .
