Last week Marion got a notice from her telecom provider that it was time to renew her subscription with them. Just like me, Marion owned a iPhone 4 and was very happy with that smartphone. And so she already decided with the renewal of her subscription she would move to the iPhone 5.
So this morning we went to Beverwijk to visit the shop of Marion’s telecom provider. It took only a little before she selected the iPhone 16Gb and the subscription she wanted.
Suddenly Marion asked me when I have to renew my subscription or so. I told that would be in a month or so, on which the sales-person told that I already could renew already now. But the thing is, that I had reserved the tax-money that I will get back (which was already confirmed, but not paid out yet). So I told that I have to wait until I received that money.
Well, it seemed that was not what Marion wanted to hear. She told the sales-person to renew my subscription as well with the same iPhone 5 she had. As she said, she an iPhone 5, I an iPhone 5. I wanted to object, but the look in Marion’s eyes just said one thing: “Don’t!!!”.
So now I am the owner of an iPhone 5. And I must admit that I’m very happy with it. I love this kind of gadgets… and Marion knows that!
One thing we did clever, Marion’s iPhone is white of color, while mine is black again. This will prevent that we take all the time the wrong iPhone 🙂
Only thing we didn’t know and just found out, when you get a new sim and the phone number doesn’t change, you cannot do any bank transactions for 48 hours. This because the smartphone is part of the authorization process that our bank uses. Not a real big problem, neither of us has a payment that must be done with 48 hours.
Thank you, Marion…
