Phones

I'm going to Dartmoor National Park tomorrow. We are doing a 6.5mile walk. Here is a picture of Dartmoor.

So I have been looking at phones for the last week trying to figure out if I really need one or not, and if I could get away with not getting one. Everyone in my course and that I have made friends with have told me to get a phone. So I went with Libby, a girl in my course, and we went down to city centre to look around. I felt that there was some sense of security to have some one there with me. We ended up both getting phones and a good plan to go along with it. So I have a phone now. They do a thing here called top up, which is like pay as you go phones. I'm so used to having an amount of minutes each month that will last me forever and not have to worry about it. Now I have to keep track. But I do have international calling for 4p a minute. It should be good. (Disclaimer: Just because I have them, doesn't mean that you can call me ALL the time.) The guy that helped us out pretty much gave us 20 pounds worth of free minutes and the free international SIM card. Yeah, I have two cards that I put in my phone underneath my battery, one for UK calls and one for international cards. It's pretty nifty, as long as I don't lose either one of them. But I have a phone. I can get in touch with the real world across the pond without having to use the Internet. I'm somewhat excited to use it.
