I have good old California Lifeline telephone service AKA The Infamous Obamaphone. I just call it the Ronnie Phone since technically speaking, Lifeline was instituted during the Reagan administration.
Up to the 11th of this month everything was hunky dory.
And now I have an affliction of bees up my ass. Angry bees with headaches.
First of all, I keep getting my mental wires crossed. Virgin Mobile is NOT GODS DAMMIT Verizon. So fuck you, Verizon!!
Virgin Galactic all the way!
Second of all....it wasn't exactly made clear when I signed up that in order to retain the otherwise entirely satisfactory freebie phone service, I had to use TEXT MESSAGING/SMS at least once every thirty days.
Guess where I fucked up.
Third...I tried.
To PAY.
ACTUAL MONEY.
I tried my unholy desperate gods damndest to pay via the Virgin Mobile website for a month's interim service so I could get my shit untangled without losing more than four day's phone service. It wouldn't gods damned let me pay with my perfectly good debit card and I was using my most advanced browser on it........and if anyone says Firefox 48 Portable is 2shitty4pay, someone's titty is gonna wake up in a fuckin laundry wringer BECAUSE I USE THAT BROWSER WHEN I PURCHASE PRECIOUS GEMSTONES FROM GEMSELECT dot mothergodsdamnedfucking COM.
I'm just a trifle miffed about my situation.
It's gonna take about a week to get the paperwork from Virgin Galactic Mobile so that I can re-up my Lifeline service, for which I am still eligible, ya fucks.
All because I failed to user a millenial's crappy little toy.
Fuckin text messaging.

A ridiculously delayed update:
New Ronnie Phone, new number. Everything is fully operational.
Once a week, I switch the phone from WiFi to GSM because WiFi doesn't count as "activity". Fuck YOU, WiFi.
And yeah, I text at least once a week even if it's only a psychologically deranged "MEOW!" to a local buddy.
Because it's even MORE fucked up to lose one's phone service because oops forgot texty.
TL;DR happy ending to a dumb ass mess.
