Hi, my name is Honorio Soto. For while I was stuck with a phone only capable of texting and calling. It did have internet capabilities but several of its functions were improperly programmed. I could not receive photo messages nor send them. The camera on this ancient kyrocera flip phone must have had a 9.5 kilopixel resolution. It was a sad sight I was embarrassed to take it out of my pocket and ask for numbers. So after being so frustrated I purchased a phone from Craigslist. I had bought the LG voyager. I was so thrilled to have a phone with touch screen and a full WERTY keyboard. But since I had a phone carrier that would "flash" phones all the capabilities of the phone went out the window. It, however, still looked nice when exchanging numbers. After having that phone for a while the functions of its screens started to fail, so the touch screen would not work. After a while longer the charging port on the device gave out and the only way I could charge my phone was by splicing a wire and holding the copper ends to the prongs. That's when I decided to start looking into phone companies with phones I would like to own. After the phone stopped charging at all, I had to replace it with my older flip phone and was back in phone shame. Soon after I went to a pool party and forgot to remove my phone from my pocket and drowned it, so I did the whole rice in a bag trick and got it to work again. The screen however, was not working right and seemed bleeched out so in order to use it I would have to tilt the phone. I would have purchased a new phone from the company but none they offered were seemingly worthy of money asked for. So I waited, and one day I said enough phone shame, and walked into best buy, met a sales associate and said I'm not leaving here until I have a new phone. I walked out of there with a Samsung Epic 4g.
