I haz iphone

With a 917 area code.

Porting my old number to the new carrier involved:

a) (Temporarily) changing my credit card billing to my Manhattan address

b) Spending hours on the phone (Read: H-town spending hours on the phone) with ATT&T Wireless trying to convince them to reroute the shipping

c) Shipping the phone to Manhattan after all and impatiently waiting for my mom to send it to me here

Refusing to admit that I really live in LA? Priceless.

p.s. This is Flo, our neighbor's cat. Actually, her name is Number One Kitty, but we call her Flo. Aren't you digging the Helga effect?

p.p.s. The dirt is not a camera effect. Flo likes to roll in the dirt.

  1. Pffft! You people and your hi-tech gadgets! My little sister just got an iphone and keeps rubbing it in my face.

    The whole touch screen thing is still too much for me to handle.

  4. this is hilarious. u r not alone. I have had a D.C. phone number since 2001. Since then, I have lived in Houston, Detroit, returned to DC, Maryland, and now Ive been in Miami for 2.5 years. The best part?

    Im moving back to DC this year so my phone number will be safe in its home town. Keep the NY love- it wil pay off some day. ;o)

  6. Mmm. We have 917 numbers too. If we chatted it would be local. Well, actually you'd be calling from the East Village to Brooklyn. Flatbush, actually. I'm sort of hardcore like that.
