My sister who is very nontechnical when it comes to cell phones or the internet called me with a new big problem. She dropped her phone, an HTC model and shattered the screen.
She told me she was just going to cancel her contract and get a new phone as it was too expensive to replace the glass. I explained that the contract would not cancel, she would pay it out as well as one for a new phone.
Next day I get call from her saying she her contract only has a month left so no big deal but she now wants to buy an unlocked iPad mini because she heard it can be used as a phone. Before I even explained that it can via Skype and other apps it is not really a phone and I tried to picture her driving in traffic and trying to make a call on a big tablet and hold it up to her ear... my sister is a very bad driver already. I also explained that while an unlocked phone has some advantages it is also much more expensive. She said she would get back to me as soon as she makes up her mind.
