Okay. That got my attention. GCI is offering a free “Android” phone like my HTC Hero when you sign up
for a two-year unlimited plan and smartphone package. Heck, that’s easy, ’cause you should have both of those plans anyway. Unlimited is a great way to go–and why have a smart phone if you don’t have the data package? Huh?
I <heart> my HTC “Hero” Android phone. Camera. Phone. Music player. Call. Email. IM. Twitter. Facebook. Oh yeah….it’s all there. I could say “get Appy” and all that. But I really don’t know how to use half of the “apps” on my phone as it is. Sheesh.
But here’s the kicker: 5,000 bonus Alaska Airlines miles. That’s a nice bonus for getting a cell phone. To get the deal, visit one of GCI’s stores in Anchorage, Fairbanks, Homer, Juneau, Kenai, Kodiak, the Mat-Su valley, Seward or Sitka. This GREAT deal is not yet on the GCI website. So stop into the retail store to sign up!
Remember–the unlimited plans also allow up to four partner lines. That means the whole family can jump on the “unlimited” train.
It’s insane–but the kids now text-message me from their bedrooms while we’re sitting upstairs in the kitchen. Smartphone, indeed. Rather than text them a nice message to take out the garbage, it’s still easier for me to walk into the other room and stomp on the ceiling. Cathartic, really.
Sure, you can fly to Iceland to see a volcano–but we have so many right here in Alaska in Katmai National Park! One of my favorites is the mighty Novarupta, which blew its top back in 1912. It covered the valley under hundreds of feet of ash and pumice–creating the Valley of 10,000 Smokes.
