Contract conjecture may be bad, bad, bad
“So, what I meant to say was… [double beep followed by a pleasant green notice saying my call was dropped]“. [frustrated sigh] [caller re-dials, waits, recipient picks up] “Sorry, I have an iPhone, love the phone, HATE AT&T” “Don’t worry, I have an iPhone too, I totally understand”. Sound familiar?
