1508 - Progress
1509 -
150901 - Last night seems like Sprint cell phone broke. Mil had the phone
150902 - since about 1995. It later turned out the phone merely suffered
150903 - moisture damage from holding the cellphone while hiking 15 miles 2
150904 - days ago on 110904, reported in case study on 101010 0744. ref SDS 1
150905 - RI5N
150907 - ..
150908 - A few weeks ago, Ross helped shop for a new cell phone, reported on
150909 - 110824 0832. ref SDS 2 SK51
150911 - ..
150912 - At that time, Sprint quoted $200 for the phone, and $90 per month for
150913 - 2 year service contract.
150915 - ..
150916 - Subsequently, noticed AT&T advertisement on television for cell phone
150917 - service at $50 per month. Currently paying $33 per month, so another
150918 - $17 more for phone service seems better and easier than paying Sprint
150919 - another $55 per month.

150975 - Roll Over Minutes But Not for Moile to Mobile
150976 -
150977 - AT&T seems to offer...
150978 -
150979 - AT&T proudly offers Rollover® Minutes. That means if you
150980 - don't talk as much one month, AT&T lets you keep your
150981 - unused minutes for next month.* Rollover Minutes are
150982 - unused, accumulated, Anytime Minutes that carry over from
150983 - month to month for up to 12 billing periods. The benefits
150984 - to you, our customer, is that you can keep unused Anytime
150985 - Minutes and use them when it's convenient for you. You can
150986 - avoid paying Additional Minute charges by using your
150987 - accumulated Rollover Minutes instead. Rollover Minutes are
150988 - handy for those times in your life when you need more
150989 - minutes.
150991 - ..
150992 - Unused Rollover Minutes expire after the 12th billing
150993 - period of the month minutes have been accumulated. Night
150994 - and Weekend, and Mobile to Mobile Minutes not included.
150996 - ..
150997 - If "mobile to mobile" minutes are not included, this is a major
150998 - limitation, since many if not most calls these days are from one
150999 - cell phone to another.
151001 - ..
151002 - Seems to turn out that "mobile to mobile" communication is supported
151003 - by AT&T.

151042 - ..
151043 - Requires a minimum data service starting at $15/month. 2 year contract
151044 - & new activation required.
151046 - ..
151047 - So, actual minimum cost per month seems like.......... $55
151049 - ..
151050 - Ross explained Wifi service on a cell phone is often faster if there
151051 - is a router available for cable transmission, rather than use the
151052 - nearest cell phone tower for the service provider.
151054 - ..
151055 - Apparently, there is a setting on the phone to turn transmission on
151056 - for wifi or off, and when off, the phone defaults to transmit to and
151057 - from a tower.
151059 - ..
151060 - Seems like to use a wifi connection, the cell phone computer has to be
151061 - programmed to use a local network. Not sure about this from the
151062 - literature.

151401 - Visited Sprint at the Mall in Danbury.
151402 -
151403 - Actually, on the way to the mall the cell phone suddenly started
151404 - working correctly. At least the normal display finally appeared.
151406 - ..
151407 - At Sprint, talked to Joe.
151409 - ..
151410 - Joe examined Millie's cell phone. He discovered moisture in the
151411 - battery housing. Joe said this moisture caused a short circuit that
151412 - prevented the phone from working correctly.
151414 - ..
151415 - Evidently, moisture accumulated from perspiration dripping on my arm
151416 - to the hand holding the cell phone during the hike on Sunday. I
151417 - didn't notice anything, because did not make any calls until the next
151418 - day on Monday.
151420 - ..
151421 - Joe was very kind to service the cell phone using equipment in the
151422 - back of his store blowing air to dryout the cell phone circuits.
151424 - ..
151425 - Asked Joe about being competitive with other service providers
151426 - offering monthly charges as low as $55, per above. ref SDS 0 M88L
151428 - ..
151429 - Joe advised that the lowest price Sprint offers is $90 per month for
151430 - unlimited voice and data.

151801 - We walked to AT&T across the mall.
151802 -
151803 - Met Gary.
151805 - ..
151806 - Gary confirmed the cost for Samsung Infusion 4g cell phone is $200,
151807 - including a 2 year contract for $55 per month ($40 for telephone
151808 - service plus $15 for data transfer from the Internet).
151810 - ..
151811 - There was discussion about text messaging costing $.20 each. Gary
151812 - seemed to say that paying additional $10, or $25 per month, which
151813 - would be a total of $65 per month, there would be unlimited texting.
151815 - ..
151816 - Initially decided not to purchase text messaging services. Ross
151817 - indicated that situations might arise where sending and/or receiving a
151818 - text message would be helpful.
151820 - ..
151821 - Decided to configure text messaging and pay $.20 for each message with
151822 - expectation that this service will be used less than once a month, and
151823 - since messages can be transmitted with email which is paid with the
151824 - $55 per month.
151826 - ..
151827 - Ross found the Samsung Infusion 4g cell phone on display in the store.
151829 - ..
151830 - Upon examination, Ross advised this seems like a high quality cell
151831 - phone comparable in features and performance to those he and Claudia
151832 - use. Ross also cited the weight as less and the size of the screen
151833 - is bigger.
151835 - ..
151836 - Gary introduced Troy for placing an order.
151838 - ..
151839 - Troy took the order.
151841 - ..
151842 - Bought Samsung Infuse 4g cell phone, which includes upgrade on
151843 - telephone service to....
151844 -
151845 - Telephone daytime.............. 450 minutes
151846 - Telephone nightime............. Unlimited
151847 - Internet Date Transfer.........
151849 - ..
151850 - Turns out this all added up to under $60 per month, rather than $55
151851 - shown in the AT&T Internet website, per above, ref SDS 0 GV7M,
151852 - because AT&T charges taxes that were not included in the $55 pricing.
151854 - ..
151855 - Agreed to take cell phone service for $60 per month, increasing the
151856 - current payment to Sprint of $33 per month.
151858 - ..
151859 - Paid $213, including tax for Samsung Infusion 4g telephone.
151860 -
151861 - [On 110908 1322 discovered error in AT&T charges for
151862 - Samsung Infuse cell phone and service, so returned the

151865 - ..
151866 - Troy transferred telephone numbers from Mil's cell phone to the new
151867 - Samsung Infusion 4g.
151869 - ..
151870 - Troy offered to sell accessories for the new cell phone that
151871 - includes...
151872 -
151873 - screen protection
151874 - case
151875 - car charger using cigarette lighter plug
151877 - ..
151878 - Troy said the total is............................. $58.
151880 - ..
151881 - Troy offered to cut this price by 50% because the customer has bought
151882 - a new phone and agreed to terms on cellular phone service for $60 per
151883 - month.
151885 - ..
151886 - Consulted with Ross, who by this time was sitting a a table in the
151887 - mall outside the AT&T store, and was making calls, checking messages
151888 - on his cell phone.
151890 - ..
151891 - Ross said he can buy all of the accessories for less than $10 on the
151892 - Internet.
151893 -
151894 - [On 111002 1321 cell phone charger purchased by Ross on the
