OK, so I am probably the last person on the planet to do this. But today I got dragged up to date and caught up with the 20th century (just a shame it is now the 21st century).
Today I signed up, for the first time in my life, for a mobile 'phone contract! Never had one before.
A few years ago the friend whose dogs I look after during the day decided I needed to have a mobile in case I had an accident while walking the dogs (he was not worried about me, just about his dogs) so he lent me a 'phone for when walking them. And on the rare occasions I needed one I used that. So I never got a 'phone myself.
But since I have recently gone into pre-production for my first short film, I needed a 'phone just for film production. Did not want to spend loads, but did not want a burner, so I went for the cheapest sim only deal I could find online and got a cheap second hand 'phone from a stall near the station.
Didn't want a steep learning curve with the 'phone. Rather that buying the best in my price range I worked out that the easiest learning curve is a zero curve. So I showed the guy the phone my friend lent me and said "I want one identical to that." Am now in possession of an old, out of date Blackberry, and early next week the sim should arrive, putting me (at last) on a par, communication wise, with everyone else on Earth!
