My husband was very sweet and gave me a new phone for Christmas.
I transferred over the chip thingy from my old phone and I figured out how to set up a ring-tone.
My problem?
I can't figure out how to answer the silly thing.
With my last phone I just opened it up and talked.
With this phone I have to push a button.
Now by the time I realize my phone is ringing, find the thing in the abyss of my purse, pull it out, get it out of its holder and figure out which is the accept button and which is the reject button and push the right one, whoever is calling is already sent to voice mail.
And no, I haven't figured out how to access my voice mail yet.
I'm sticking to blogging.
Everyone? If you need me, send me an e-mail or better yet, comment here. That should work.
Kids? Whatever you're calling about? The answer is no.
Sigh.
I'm Leanne and I'm a tired mama. I work, I parent, I juggle and I don't seem to get enough sleep. Welcome to the place where I rant about all these things...
You're still worlds ahead of my mother. She's still figuring out how to use the microwave my dad bought 10 years ago. :)

I am impressed that you were able to transfer the chip thingy. You are my hero.

I had to take back the one with the button answer because I either called people by accident or else couldn't figure out how to unlock the keypad. Supposedly it gets easier.

I'm with you on the technically challenged part. I've had my phone for a year and just now figured out how to change the ring tones.

Ah yes. The new cell phone blues. I'm singin' 'em, too, honey.
I got me a new cell phone
That I can't use
My kids are having to teach me
I got the technology blues.
It doesn't do what I tell it to.
I can't make the thing do right.
I'm thinking about throwing it off a cliff.
In fact, I think I might.
I got the new cell phone blues.
I got the brand new cell phone blues.
Can't answer it, can't make a call.
Can't seem to do anything at all
Except sit here and sing the blasted new cell phone blues.
I understand. Completely.

Just when I get my cell phone figured out, it's time for a new one.

Oh, I always have a hard time adapting when I have to switch cellphones. For the first month or two I'm constantly missing calls.

there's something attractive about not being reachable ... when margie got her first blackberry it had voice dialing. I answered my phone and eavesdropped on her and A having a conversation for about fifteen minutes before I called her land line from my cell phone and told her that she had accidentally dialed me when she said my name ... just make sure you don't have that feature!!

"Kids? Whatever you're calling about? The answer is no."
Laughed outloud at that line :)

LOL - you suck! kidding. I've had my phone for 9 months and have just figured out how to set it up to answer by opening the flip.

Oh, GOD! I think I'm on my third phone. All I could do with ANY of them was make a call and SOMETIMES answer the thing. Sheesh.
