NEW PORTABLE PHONE

My daughter stopped by yesterday with the two new portable phones I asked her to buy for me. In the last month, my portable phones, have died twice in the middle of a conversation and in the process caused all the other phones in my house to stop working. Thus, I knew I needed to replace them and yet, it hasn’t happened again for two weeks and so I thought, “Maybe the problem will go away.”

As a result, I said to my daughter, I better keep the sales slip, in case I decide to return them in a couple weeks if my phones seem trouble-free. But she suggested I keep them anyway, as eventually portable phones do need to be thrown away and I will need new ones. As I was concerned about the batteries wearing down, she said, “No problem. Don’t place them in the phone and charge them until you want to start using them and you’ll be fine.”

But then when she proceeded to open one of the boxes to show me, she discovered the box on the seal had been broken, the battery was already inserted in the phone, and it was obviously a used product. Wow…. I’m so glad she discovered this error. We immediately called the store where she purchased the phones and gladly heard we could exchange the used portable for a new one!!!!
