I’ll never go to a store to get a cell phone again. I ‘ll always buy online. A tale of 2 shopping experiences.
The lame experience: Couple of years ago, it took about 2 hours at the AT&T store to get my new phone. A lot of the time the sales guy was fumbling around to get the phone activated (I don’t think he knew what he was doing though he claimed the “system” was down but it a chance for him to sell me stuff I did not want). Store was crowded and cramped. While the network was “down,” the sales guy kept trying to sell me a different phone, then a warranty, then accessories. Awful. Lame-o-rama.
The easy-peasy not lame experience: The next time I needed a new phone I bought it online from amazon. Lots of choices. I even found a great phone for 1 cent. Plus, I changed carriers and kept my old number. Easy peasy and phone worked great.
