A Mathematician Talks on the Phone
The Topologist is the proud new owner of a used Google Nexus One. I've been nagging him to get a data plan for this phone.
Me: Call 611. They can add a data plan to your phone.
Him: Can't I do it online?
Me: Probably.
He tries to add a data plan online, but it won't work because AT&T's database shows that he still has a dumbphone. When he clicks on the "I have a different phone" option, the Nexus One does not appear on the list, neither as itself nor as some sort of HTC phone. I have to go back to doing actual work, so I leave him to fend for himself.
Me: Did you get the data plan on your phone?
Him: I called them and had them switch my phone, but when I check online it still doesn't show up. So I can't add it online.
Me: You could have had them add a data plan when you called, you know.
