Cell Phone Issues
today i attempted to buy recharge minutes for my cell phone (in china, most plans are prepaid). unfortunately, i don't yet know much cell phone policy vocabulary, so when my phone failed to work after recharging i had about an hour long confusing discussion with the salesman. from my understanding, a long distance conversation i had with my dad on his birthday had actually racked up a debt (i didn't know this was possible), which i either had to pay off or avoid by switching numbers. he convinced me to buy a new number from him because it would be cheaper than settling the debt - i don't yet know if he did me a favor or duped me. he works at the university's store, so i'm going to hope for the the former; i get tricked enough as it is.

Joe, When my daughter Emily and I went to Taiwan I discovered that my cell phone would not work in Tokyo but did in Yuan Lin, Taiwan. I'd have thought the other way round would be more likely. I look forward to more posts from you. Bob - Jill's Husband.
