Activate the CellPhone

After a couple of years of not using the cellphone, this year we wanted to use it again on our long trip. We called the company to have it activated a few days before we were ready to leave but they said we needed a new simcard and by the time it got here in the mail we had already left on our trip. We bought this Motorola cellphone three years ago. It was the year that I first arrived here in the US. At the time our contract engineering business was still very busy and we were traveling a lot. Since the economy started dropping like a rock, we haven't been traveling near as much so we decided to let the cellphone contract expire. Then when we thought it would be easy to have it turned on again instead it turned out to be a hassle. I don't know whether we will bother to have it activated again or not. Sometimes cellphones are more trouble than they are worth.
