The new iPhone arrived this evening and I have it all set up… It’s pretty nice, and usable one-handed, which is a bonus.
Oddly, I have to get another sim from Ting (my carrier) for the 5G capability of the iPhone, so that means getting a new number. And, in an attempt to curtail the spam calls, I selected the ‘wilderness’ area code of Colorado for my number; 970.
970 covers the mountains and the no-man’s-land of northern and north-eastern Colorado. Upon getting the new number though I had to laugh; the new number is exactly one number off from the phone number my family had for most of my childhood.
At least it’s easy to remember I guess.
It’ll be a few days before its active though as I have to wait for the sim to get here and then activate everything. And then I get to go through and redo all of the contact numbers at all of my banks and whatnot.
Oh well. If I’m lucky I can keep this number for a while just for the novelty.
