Cellphone Interruptus
After months of deliberating, I bought a Samsung i500. While my phone number gets transfered from Verizon to Sprint (hold the incredulous looks, please) I won’t have cell phone service. They said it might take a few days. So if you need to get a hold of me, try email instead.
Update: 3PM
I had left a message on my old Verizon voicemail saying my cell phone would be out of service for a while. Now when I call the number, I get a stock Verizon message from James Earl Jones that the number is not in service.
Update: 5:30PM
I can get phone calls now. The switchover took less time than the Sprint guy said!

yay. you’ve left the evil empire.
it took 1 hour for us (maybe less) through bestbuy from cingular to verizon. the first time we tried it, it worked.
they got james earl jones to do their stock voicemail message? that’s cool.
Yeah, that empire has a lot of money…
you did it?!? i guess now i’m the last one with a startac…
And I am happy when I do not forget my cell phone at home – which hardly happens.
Did you know that it’s possible to unlock your phone so that you can use the Samsung i500 with Verizon?
