so yesterday i research online and order from att, but they can't process because my address don't match up. i have that problem all the time, banks and financials won't deal with you given only a po box, but they don't deliver on the street here so despite what property taxes and utility bills say the physical address just does not compute with a valid postal service location, cannot sell or ship. it took some talking, but we got it done, insert fake address for service, insert fake shipping address, they believed me when i told them i know both the ups and fedex drivers and they will find me, just put my name and zipcode on it, took multiple supervisor overides, but phone guy was real helpful. as it should be, it was the truth.
finalize equipment and plan just before 6pm yesterday so i can get to hardware store for more paint before they close, att agrees to expidite shipping, turns out they love stealing customers, thanks fed gubmint for preventing a monopoly while enabling another monopoly, love the phone. new phone goes from TN after 7 their time through major airport in my state, then on another flight to civilized nowhere, and then on a truck to 200+ miles from nowhere, and gets here ~ 7pm local time. Fedex girl says here you go ____, that's two now, i give her the prepaid return package and it's all good. just over 24 hrs **** to git.
then the power goes out, so i install battery out of the box (if you ever need tips on how to open a samsung galaxy S i can save you 15 min) activate via old verizon phone that don't run out of time until end of billing cycle, and head to the driveway to jack in through wireless while charging devices with petro power. now good to go.
