That phone ritual

[christopher575]

I've never had phones with a SIM card before, so getting a new phone has always meant having to re-enter all the names and numbers into my new phone. This is always a time to decide who you think you'll never call again, because it's not worth putting them into the new one. Sure, you may as well keep their number just in case, but if you really don't care whether or not you ever speak again, they aren't worth the space they'll take up any more.

There are a lot of people I wouldn't mind talking to or seeing, but it's really their turn to call me.

It won't bother me if they never do, though.

Now that you have a Windows Mobile device, you can sync it to Outlook via Activesync. That should be much less time consuming than entering your contacts directly onto the phone.

Verizon has a handy app called Backup Assistant, backs up all your contacts to a Verizon server, and allows you to download them all to a new phone. I'm pretty sure Sprint has something similar.

I asked last time I switched Sprint phones and they said no. But this time I left Sprint for T-Mobile.

Sprint is in serious need of a cockpunch. Big time.

so much hate.

Yeah, for about as much as I paid on their "fair and flexible" plan with 100 text messages each month, I'll now be getting way more minutes than I'll ever use, internet on my MDA, and 1,000 texts. I will not miss them.

I have a few of those. I just delete them periodically even though I haven't actually changed my phone number in 8 years. :)

I have limited time and emotional energy - I'm not going to invest it on someone who's uninterested. I had one friend insist that he really did value our friendship, but then I never hear from him. His excuse is that he's just so 'busy' with his family and with work, but then talks about the stuff he does with mutual acquaintances on a regular basis. I'm always the one who initiates contact, too. So, no. If you're not contacting me occasionally, you obviously aren't all that interested.

True friends are too precious to waste time on false ones.
