IPhone 3Gs Service Died. What to do? Breathe & Ask a Smart Kid

Submitted by admin on June 21, 2009 – 11:44 pmOne Comment

I’m practicing my yoga breathing right now.  Just two days after getting my phone and a week without voice mail, my phone went down.  The screen kept going blank and now there’s no service.

My son said that happened on his phone, then the new phone was activated.  Even though AT&T activated with my old sim card in the phone, could they have gone ahead and activated the new card after the call to customer service?  He recommended that I replace the old sim card (in the new phone) with the new card.

And yes, voila!  It worked.

I’ve heard it said that  new generations are born with all the knowledge of generations before them.  I guess that’s why they have answers that we have to search for.
