It seems like the day of heartbreak might be a lot closer than I thought. For a 5 year old phone, my Pebl has been serving me well. There was a 3 year period that it was on the shelf because US phones don't have removable sim cards and I had to get a new phone there. My Pebl wasn't working with the american operators. For the past 2 months I have been happy to be back with my Pebl, but I've noticed it's not working the same anymore. My baby's sick, it doesn't have the energy it used to... and I doubt I can find a new battery for it anymore. Motorola has probably forgotten about my Pebl already... and I have a feeling that a new phone might be cheaper than buying spare parts for Pebl.
About an hour ago a seller from Saunanlahti, a rival cell phone provider to my sonera called me and was trying to lower my bills...she asked me what my monthly cell phone bills has been...I told her for the past 2 months it's been about 8 euros...and she wanted to lower even that! I doubt lady, but nice try! I have been very happy with my cell phone provider and I have been with them for over 10 years...my monthly phone bills has been 2 euros for my entire stay in USA and I have had the same number forever. I can count on my phone working abroad. I am not about to change it and you never know where I will be in few months so no thank you. I told her that much, said good by and hang up. I closed my phone (it's a flip phone) and noticed that the number was visible on the outside screen. It should have gone away after few seconds. I thought maybe the call was still on and for some reason my phone hadn't actually hung up on her. I opened the flip again and nothing!!! It was dead! I closed it again and the number was still showing. I opened it again and finally the wall paper came back! boy was I scared! Kinda felt like by not changing my providers they shut down my phone. They killed Pebl! Now I feel it will be only a matter of time before Pebl will die in its sleep. It'll be a sad day but eventually I'll get over it.
For an older phone, Pebl has been great. It communicates well with my MAC, I can connect it to it via bluetooth. I can transfer pictured I took with my phone to my computer and I could transfer music and pictured to my phone if it had just a teeny tiny bigger of a memory... I think time has past on Pebl but right now I just can't upgrade. One other thing to add to my growing list of things to buy when I get a job.
Will keep you posted. Later
