HELP...my brain's getting tired

I hardly ever used my cell flip phone, but just before Christmas I wanted to call someone.  Got a message that I didn't have enough money on the account to make the call.  Over the holidays I pondered whether I should just put more money on the account or if I should splurge and get one of these new phones that does all these wonderful new things.

Started looking into available plans and they start talking "data", "megabytes", "gigabytes", "plan"  and a whole lot of other lingo that I had no clue what they were saying!!!  They may as well have been talking Greek to me!!!  I finally talked to enough people and asked enough questions to understand them a bit and found a plan that I thought would work for me.  Ended up with an IPhone. The salesman's theory was that I'd used an IPad so I would be more familiar with the format...he was soooo patient with me and all my dumb questions!!

Then came the fun of trying to figure out how to use it.  Did pretty good till it came to texting.  No matter what I tried and who I questioned it just didn't work, so back to the store and after an hour or so of changing SIM cards and numerous other settings, it came down to me having to keep my old cell phone number...disappointing because the new number was sooooo much easier to memorize!  Now I've got to keep my phone number written down so I remember it but I've got  a phone that tracks everything I do, walk, sleep, eat...you name it!!!!  But.....I'm beginning to enjoy it!!!

If that wasn't enough brain exercise....we decided to upgrade our internet and TV package, including Netflix...more to learn.
