HS buddy is an engineer for Levi Straus. He designed and maintains machines that make Jeans. Don't know if it's the machines that makes fashionably used or not. I know he does travel to London a lot.
Had one of those phones that is mounted in your car in the late 80's. Not quite a brick.
Also had a Timex pager watch that paged me with caller ID when my phone was getting a call. The phone was in my car for my convenience. Got it so Mom or Bro with MS, George living with us could call with emegencies while I was out. Usually flying R/C planes with no phone to go to.
Pissed my brother Tom off one Saturday. Didn't call him back (wanted me to do some work on a Saturday), didn't call back, was out flying. The next Monday they had taken over my cell phone account and replaced my car phone with a pocket cell phone. Pocket cell phones weren't available with I setup my car phone.
Company managed my phone until 2 years ago. Now it's my phone/contract, but I get a stipend that pays $55 for it on my check. kind of a rip off because the actual service part is $60 with unlimited everything. The no longer pay for whom the account is with, the phone itself, upgrading, or getting it fixed.
The feature that they can remote your iPhone is pretty new. All the iPhone allows is view the screen and move a pointer not click on, upload, or run anything. That being said...before any upgrade/repair to my iphone, even at the apple store, I make a backup so went I get my iPhone back I can revert it to factory settings (completely erase it), then restore from my backup. Just in case they mess something up.
