Social Security Card

Social Security card replacements have to be applied for at a Social Security office. It doesn't cost anything, except time and enduring a way too friendly receptionist whose questions sounded more like CIA techniques than anything bordering on the friendly. Social Security Card.

But it is important to learn that a replacement card, though free, takes about 7-10 days to be delivered. It is being sent from Baltimore. Here is a list of the offices in Southern California.

Proctor & Gamble in Moreno Valley Hiring 500 Display Personnel

This is the address to Proctor & Gamble factory. Wouldn't be a bad place to work, according to Chris, who said that they were hiring 500 people this month. Sounds like a lot. The number posted at the Yellow Pages was ~~951-924-6309~~. I called that number and got a fax machine. I called on Saturday mind you.

The other address was 14480 Ramona Avenue, and its phone was ~~909-628-9759~~. A person did not answer; I got an automated message. I should just check on Monday. Doesn't really sound like the company interacts with the public on weekends.

16110 Cosmos Street, Moreno Valley, CA 92551

Oh, brother, a third location! But no phone number came with this one.

Samsung, AT&T GoPhones

I want to buy a Samsung A157 GoPhone by AT&T. Amazon sells it for $35. Seems like a lot of money for a GoPhone.

The phone I currently have is a Samsung Android and the power charge from the phone is way too strong, to the point where I cannot even use it. I need to learn a few more features on it before I decide to dump the phone or not.

The local Metro PCS does not sell this phone. They do sell the Samsung Avant, but I don't want an android with data.

Here is a 45-second demo of the phone presented by AT&T.

Other AT&T phones I might want to consider:
Samsung SGH-A197 GoPhone, AT&T. Here is a refurbished model for $25. That's not a bad price. And it has a camera.

Samsung SGH-A107, AT&T.

I have never heard of this site, but it looks like the place to go if you want to unlock your cell phone number. Not sure. Will check it out. It's called CellularUnlocker.net.

Not only does this video explain what Cellular Unlocker does, but it is also a good example of a "How-to" video. People enjoy the music with instructions written out, rather than following along someone's voice that might be in a language not their own.

For Metro PCS Service, call (888) 863-8768 and ask for "operator," not "representative." For the automated service over the phone, Metro PCS charges $2; for the operator to perform the service costs $3. Oh, and be sure to use 91776 zip code.
