The lack of a reliable phone is a burden I’m discarding. A dear friend has been making suggestions; I’ve spent hours on the Internet checking cell phones–and service. Jitterbug/Great Call/Lively (they have changed several times in the eight years I have been a customer) has not acknowledged the message I sent on their website under “contact us.” ~~ I’ve signed up for Google phone service and I didn’t even know that Google provided phone service!! ~~ Today, I’m considering a scathing criticism (for Consumer Reports?) regarding the poor service for seniors by Lively. By the time I get the new phone activated, I’ll probably think “why bother?”  (For me, it takes a lot of “energy” to approach problems—and companies—so why spend “energy” I don’t have.)
