My cell phone has been sending double texts to me. It’s mildly annoying. What was more rage inducing, though, was when I got a text. Then it came through again every hour, on the hour, the entire evening…until about 8 am the next morning. Now I’m angry.
I called the support line and held for about 90 options until the support choice came up. I then got an American on the phone, which was rather surprising. His advice to me was “Turn the phone off, then on again.” Wow, insightful! He then suggested I call from another phone, which is not an option, seeing as to how I ditched a landline in 2002 like most of the civilized world. There are people in third world countries that don’t have flush toilet that would mock you for having a landline.
It finally boiled down to one choice for me. Deal with the double texts, or completely wipe out my phone’s contacts, apps, etc. Let me think, get twice the texts…since I get about five a week that makes ten…or risk losing every phone number and have to download 25 apps again. Looks like I need to up my text plan to senior citizen and plan on double digit texts.
