We went to AAA
to update our insurance to include the new car. We cancelled my individual plan and added me to Joe’s plan
for a combined plan with both cars on it.
We had planned to do that sooner after we had gotten married but buying
the new car gave us more of a reason to get it taken care of. We also opted for a slightly better
plan than we had before since the car is newer and we’re going to be driving
around with a baby in it. We just
wanted to make sure we had adequate coverage. It was actually really nice to talk to the rep from
AAA. He wasn’t trying to sell us
anything or get us to sign up for anything. He just explained the different options and let us pick. It was such a breath of fresh air and
low stress compared to the nightmare of having to buy a car.
After we got the car
insurance sorted out, we went to get our cell phones taken care of. I had an iPhone 4 which was pretty
outdated and now that I’m a stay at home mom I barely use any data at all and
don’t really need anything. Joe
just decided to add me to his plan.
He’s with ATT but he hates them because their customer service is awful
and they keep screwing up his billing and service. We went to T-Mobile to see if they had any good options but
they didn’t. ATT told him if he
upgraded his plan, added me and bought a new phone he could get a phone for me
for free. His old iPhone is really
broken so he needed a new one anyway.
He opted to get a Samsung since he hates the iPhone and I just stuck
with the iPhone and got a 6. My
old phone literally just broke. It
makes noises like it’s on but the screen is black and won’t turn on. They said I could keep my old number if
I had the account number they would transfer it but since I didn’t have the
info on hand I just opted for a new number. I was with Verizon but I just wanted a new number
anyway. Joe really wanted me to
keep the same one but I don’t get that many calls anyway. The sales rep swore up and down my
phone was free but we’d be billed the first three months for it and then refunded. When we got home I realized that we
didn’t have a printed contract with the receipt stating that and now I’m
worried they’re going to try and charge us for my phone. I’m really not trusting any salesmen
these days. It’s like everyone’s
trying to trick us into paying more for something.
