The Cairo Gyro

the excitement, enjoyment, frustration, and food that comes with living and learning in egypt

Calls and Cairo

Several annoying advertisements, weeks of mentally debating over it, and one pleasant phone call later I sit here now in relief and happiness informing you that I have just become a satisfied Vonage customer.

For just $24.99 a month I wil have unlimited local and long distance. I’ve been assigned a local US phone number which means while I’m in Cairo my friends and family from the States won’t have to think twice about calling me :D. All I do is plug in a phone and a computer into my Vonage router, make sure I have high speed internet 90kbps or higher and………dial tone!
:::Lisa is advertising a free give-away of my number to potential prank-callers!:::

(*Cough* It’s a gimmick. You don’t qualify for eligibility unless you mention her in a blog post.)

Warning to Vonage: If I don’t receive my Vonage device by tomorrow as promised and paid for, then I take back everything I said about being a happy customer.

    Guess Who - I know you and your family called to speak to me the other day. I’m sorry I wasn’t home for that! Pleaseeeeeeeeeeeeeeee pass my love and salaams all around. I’ll miss you so much, but don’t worry we’ll keep in touch insha’Allah. I hope one day I can pay you back for all the thoughtfulness and loyalty you’ve shown me even though I do not deserve even an ounce of it.
