Yeah. My router at home took a lightning hit and the cable company replaced it for me. They set everything back EXACTLY as I had it.

Well, except they forgot my parental controls. My Asperger’s son downloaded $500 of porn in one weekend.

He would start a flick. When my wife came in, he flipped over to Spongebob. Then when she stepped out, he rented another one.

It took months of arguing to get the provider to drop the charges on that. They said they’re not responsible for their repairmen’s errors.

Day for coincidences, I guess. I had the same thing happen here. The surge bulged the case like an M-80. Yeah, I hear ya. They just don't learn until they have to pay for it themselves. Kinda like out current moocher class.

But you should be. Nice.

Pretty much any pay-per-month plan will resolve your issues.

You can set them up to block texting.
No association with a credit card required.
Just buy a card to pay for the service every month or so.
My Net 10 costs $30.00 for sixty days service /300 minutes.
Minutes rollover if not used.

Phone was $9.99. No capability for “internet” activity, no pics, just calls and text, and text can be easily disabled.

It is my primary phone.
