Nope. This one takes 2 AA batteries. Recommend to use rechargables of course. Gotta keep things portable don't ya know!

Saw something i think in WSJ of a guy that got taken.  Forget the exact scam, but it was about him getting arrested.  This twist is that they required that he stay on the phone and go to Target department store and buy $3000 worth of gift cards and read off the numbers to them without hanging up.

 

What I've been getting recently is emails saying "you changed your password on your account.  If you didn't initiate this click here".  It looks just like the legit ones.  Which brings a peeve of mine that companies will put links in security related emails.  They should just IMHO tell you to logon to get the info.

Some good can come of these things, however.......

I mean.... Isn't it satisfying in a way, to just let go of your normal politeness, say something rude, and just SLAM down that phone on "Microsoft technical support"?

The problem is, you can't "SLAM" a cell phone !

Sue, If I could have given another 'Like' I would have.
