For the last year Susan has wanted, well needed a new cell
phone. Finally I decided to start
looking for a replacement for her antiquated communication device. One problem is, since I don’t want to give
up my Basic Phone Plan through Verizon (no need for a Data Plan) there is a
Very limited selection of phones available.
I was in the local Best Buy store here near our daughters house and
spotted a phone I though Susan would like.
As I always do I returned home and started my research on the Internet
before making my purchase. Well I found
the same phone at Walmart Wireless for $0.01.
That’s right, 1 cent. So I
started the online order process only to realize if I ordered it now it would
arrive at our place in Lake Havasu City before we arrived back. Also the website said it would be activated
when delivered. Not wanting it to be delivered
before we return and be activated leaving our present phone unless until we get
back I decided to abort the order. Not
wanting to possibility miss the 1 cent deal I called the order number and asked
about the activation process. Well the
girl (from India) said I could have it delivered after I return. So I placed the order and asked to have it
delivered after the first of the year.
The next day I checked the order status online and noticed it was
shipped and will arrive Dec 20, which it did.
Good thing is it hasn’t been activated and our present phone has not
been shut off. The other thing that
amazes me is they actually charged my credit card $0.01, yes that’s 1 cent.
