Here Lies Trac Phone

So I decided to add myself to an existing Verizon plan today – it’ll cost me $10/month, which is way cheaper than getting my own plan of any kind. I’ll be getting a brand new phone in the mail (of the free variety) and can finaly enjoy the features of a non pay as you go plan. I’ll be ditching my Trac Phone as soon as the minutes are gone.

Why am I glad? Because my Trac Phone is 3.5 years old, tends to freeze, has the battery life of a grape (well, maybe an onion), has a taped together case, gets terrible reception (despite already using the verizon network), has a low resolution screen, and probably more. It has served me well, though, and I would have been “happy” to keep it for another year.

Granted, it is in pretty good condition. I’ve always kept it in the case and the only scratches are on the corners where I’ve dropped it…
