Cell Phone

Ronnie received orders and mine are on the way. I should have them soon after we get back from Palau. It looks like we will leave in early May!
Ronnie decided that 4 months out, he just could not wait another day to get cell phones (that we won't use for 4 months). So he ordered them and send them to his sister. The irony is how I found out.
2 weekends ago I hear him say some thing to Shelly while they were on the phone about him ordering phones before we left and having them sent to her house. Last week I asked him when he planned on doing this. (Mind you, I told him that I did not want to pick a cell phone company until we returned to the states and I was not sure who I was going with. He KNEW he was going with Verizon and nothing in this world would change that.) He told me that he already had.
(Delete the shit hitting the fan.)
After several choice words (see caption directly above) I called Verizon and asked about canceling/suspending the plans (Ronnie "had" already done this and told me we had no options). "Of course we can suspend the plans", the agent told me. Then he told me how to do it.
Today, the phones came in. We added all of our numbers to them and I promptly suspended them. Verizon considers Guam to be an international location even though it is a US territory. They want $0.60 per minute for phone calls, $0.50 per outgoing text and $0.05 for incoming text messages. CRAZY!
Anyway, we have them and we will call you all prior to leaving Guam/upon arrival to the states with our new numbers. I find it funny that Ronnie did this, but my phone is the primary on the account!!!! Karma....what a wonderful thing.
