Yes, it’s
time for another episode of “Another Day in The Life of Me.” So, I was having
an issue a couple of days ago with getting my phone, getting it to connect with
the network (Cricket’s network – i.e. My cell connection). Oh, I could do
everything I wanted to, just couldn’t make or receive a call or send/receive a
text message. I would get the error msg. “not registered on network.” I did
have my daughter try to call me, and she said it went directly to voicemail,
and when she texted me she noticed nothing different on her end. To me, that's
right out of The Twilight Zone, because I only knew she did those things because
I asked, other than that I was oblivious to the contact attempt. You may or may
not think, “so, what is the big fucking deal?” Well, in hindsight, I was
stressed out for seemingly nothing, BUT, I couldn’t figure out why I was
getting that error message and it was driving me batshit crazy. I was even thinking,
“what if something happens and E. can’t call 9-1-1?” However, I went to the
Cricket store yesterday and asked her if she could help. She took the SIM card
out of the phone, waited for a few minutes, put it back in, put the back onto
the phone, restarted it, typed a number in, and VOILA, it was fixed. What did she
do differently than me? She waited longer to put the SIM card back in. Nothing
I read on=line suggested that. Why the fuck not? Well, the good news is that I’m
mentioning It now, so, hopefully others that have the same message pop up will
be able to fix it. I suppose I should also mention that it’s believed that the
message was happening on other networks too, because there were problems with
the cell towers in a few counties. That is another Twilight Zone occurrence in
my book. Crap! Now I’m going to be Googling that! LOL
The coffee
is ready. I’ll be right back!
