A
Well,I finally decided to enter the digital (数字的) age. My kids have been annoying me; my book group made fun of me; and the last straw was when my car broke down,and I was stuck on the highway for an hour before someone stopped to help. But when I went to the cell phone store,I almost changed my mind. The phones are so small that I can't see the numbers. They all have cameras,computers and a Global Positioning System that's supposed to spot me from space. All I want to do is to be able to talk to my grand- kids!And the rate plans (资费套餐) !They were complex,confusing,and expensive!I'd almost given up when a friend told me about her new Jitterbug phone.
Sometimes I think the people who designed this phone and the rate plans had me in mind. The phone fits easily in my pocket,but when it opens it reaches from my mouth to my ear. The display is large,so I can actually see who is calling. With a push of a button I can control the vo/wwe (音量) ，and if I don't know a number,I can simply push one for a friendly,helpful operator that will look it up and even dial it for me. The Jitterbug also reduces background noise,making the sound loud and clear. There，s even a dial tone,so I know the phone is ready to use.
Call now and get a FREE GIFT — $24 in value!Try the Jitterbug for 30 days and if you don't love it,just return it. The phone comes preprogrammed with your favorite numbers,and if you aren't as happy with it as I am,you can return it for a refund(退款) of the purchase price.
