Sung to the tune of “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge:
We are fam-i-ly
Fuck Cingular’s ridiculous fees
We are fam-i-ly
Kat and I can talk until three
We are fam-i-ly
My phone’s got l33t L-E-Ds
We are fam-i-ly
People will think I am thirteen
Alright, alright, enough silliness for now. What’s the news? If you’ve tried to call me in the past couple days, you may have noticed that my voicemail immediately picked up. Unbeknownst to me, this was because my Cingular phone had been deactivated. The reason it was deactivated is because Kat and I made the largest commitment a mid-20s couple can make (just behind changing our myspace status to “In a relationship”): we got a family talk plan with t-mobile.
Since I got a free phone for signing up, I decided to go with the Nokia 3220, mainly for it’s size and freeness, but also for it’s obnoxious LEDs and stupid attention whore ringtones. When you go to the site, check out the “Interactive Tutorial” under Phone Features to get an idea of how obnoxious the LEDs are.
This phone is really just a placeholder until I get the Audiovox 5600 which will just kick ass.
The really kickass part in all of this is that I will no longer be burning through all of my minutes talking to Kat and suffering the ridiculous overage charges every month. Hooray for family talk!
