Venezia Calling

When I got here, my boss handed me a used phone and told me where to go to buy minutes for it. Most people around here use a pay-as-you-go option for cell phones. It's good for people who aren't going to be here very long, as it avoids contracts and having extra bills when you leave. But I'm going to be here for three years, and a lot of those pay-as-you-go phones incur hidden charges. So I decided to go for a contract.
I went to the Vodafone store Saturday and luckily, the girl who worked there spoke perfect English. I opted for the Samsung SGH-U700V. I had to pay a little extra, but it's a pretty sleek phone, and I'm happy with it so far. We'll see if it lasts me three years.
