After having this cell phone since May of last year, I finally found out how to…
HEAR VOICE MAIL!!!
All this time, I had been clicking on the screen button whenever I saw that I had voice messages waiting. I’d listen, hear my voice greeting, and then silence. I attributed it to faulty programming on the part of Verizon or Nokia or the cell phone fairy or whoever and promptly did nothing about it. I just told everybody, “Don’t bother leaving voice mail. It doesn’t work.”
Some people persisted though, and I let their attempt to drag me into the modern age fester on my call-in screen. Eventually, the notices went away, so I continued to live my life the same as before, content that sometimes the best action is inaction.
Then I got into a conversation with techie at work, and told him, “Yeah, my cell phone sucks. What brand do you use?” He told me Verizon. I told him I do too, and I couldn’t get my voice mail on it. He asked me if I put in my password.

Then it hit me: when I first got the phone, it prompted me to make up a password. I hit the pound sign, then something else, and put in what I thought my password might be, and it worked! I all the sudden started hearing voice messages from weeks ago! I reminisced about what I missed! I heard heavy breathing!
I still don’t remember what I’m supposed to punch in before my password, but the point is, I DID IT! A roomful of chimpanzees eventually can type the Bible, thus so can I!
I heard you can play games on it too.
that just reminded me: there was a skit on Hee Haw once that had two lazy guys laying on hay. One says to the other: “Hey junior. Ah heard yew got a new Sears catalog.” Junior says “Yep. Ah learned yew could use it ta order stuff with.” THAT’S ME! THAT’S ME!!
