nBoth men smiled bitterly while listening to their wife's grumble about their suggestion to look at the other far.
nWomen!
nIf they had agreed to go with their suggestion first, then later on If these same women saw something fat else that caught their fancy..... Funny enough, they would still find a way to blame them for not reminding them to be patient.
nAnd so they continued looking at the rest of the phones on the long massive white table..... Which had all Eagle 1 phones, ranging from Eagle 1 S-A.... up to Eagle 1S-H.
nEveryone nodded in appreciation for the 1S phones, before going towards the other tables that had several other phones within the 2S, 3S, 4S and 5S categories.
nIn fact, there were so many phone designs available to them.... which utterly left them very confused about which phone design that they should get.
nThere were those that could be hung on the walls, which would be great for their kitchen.
nAnd there were also those that had the dialer pas on the phone's handset itself.
nOf course phones here had very long cords, which connected the base of the phone to its handset.
nAnd in addition to all of this, there were several shelves on the walls which had the same phone models as those on the tables.
nBut the only difference was that these on the walls all had different themed designs.
nFor example on the wall shelves, one would find the Eagle 2S-A in the shape of a puppy, ball and even an apple here.
nFor sure, the phone would offer the same payment plans and phone properties as it's original on the tables.
nSo the only difference was how it was themed.
nThese types of phones would definitely be used by kids and even teenagers or people who love them.
nLike the cupcake looking phone... One could easily see overseer Lyore getting something like that in the nearest future.
nIn fact, even bakeries, sport stores or other themed businesses could also use them too.
n.
nStiltskin, Rudolf and their families looked through all Eagle brand phones.... and decided to go through all LX brand phones too.
nAnd after picking their desired phone brand and model, they quickly headed over to Horizon, which was the other phone company.
nThey went there so as to see if they would get better prices for the phones that they wanted.
nBottom line, Stiltskin and his wife had decided to join Horizon because their plans were cheap for the phone types that they wanted.
nWhile Rudolf and his own wife had decided to stay with Rocky instead.
nAs for their sons and daughters who were also married and had their own households.... of course, they all made their own choices too.
nAnd at the end of the day, everyone was utterly pleased with their choices.
nSo they quickly paid for their phones upfront, as well as their monthly plans too.
nAlso, since they wanted several phones to be wired throughout their homes, they had also gotten several family deals and discounts too.
nStiltskin had been given a 15% off deal for the next 3 months.... as well as a 5% off welcome deal for the next 3 months too since they were new customers.
nIn addition to that, he was also given a welcome package, which showed company information, and whatnot.
nAnd since he had gotten a warranty too..... he had been given a card that showed his proof of warranty proof, as well as when it would expire.
nEveryone smiled merrily with their welcome packages in their hands as they moved through the building.
nBut of course, how could their journey end now?
nSure!
nThey had paid for their phones, but before getting home.... there was one more thing that they needed to do.
nAnd that was to learn how to use these phones.
n.
n
"Rudolf.... the phone testing place is just around the corner.
nSo do you want to check it out?
"
n
n
n
"Of course!
nHow am I supposed to know how to ca my cute granddaughter if I don't even know how to use it?
"
nWith that, they quickly made their way to another massive room, which had more than 150 telephones on the walls and on several tables too.
n
"Welcome!
nDo do you all want to test out the phone lines?
" Said one of the workers there.
n
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes.....
"
n
"Alright...
nSo let me first give you all a brief rundown of how to make calls, record voicemails on your device, take voicemails, leave voicemails on other people's devices, add more people to a call A.K.A... have a party-line.....
"
nThe worker spoke for 3 minutes while demonstrating what to do on the phone.
nAnd after that, she then paired everyone and placed them around different phones within the massive room.
nStiltskin held the phone number of the phone that Rudolf was standing close to.... and decided to punch it into the device.
nThe first 3 letters were in brackets.... which stood for something called area code?
n'1..'
n'Poup!'
n'2...'
n'Poup!'
n'7...'
n'Poup!.....'
nAs he punched in the numbers, a weird sound echoed back from the device.
nHe was so shocked that his hands began to tremble nervously.
nOh no...did he break the device?
nWhat should he do?
nHe looked at the worker standing next to him and tried to explain the situation as fast as he could.
nAnd after he was assured that nothing was wrong, he then followed the worker's instructions, hung up and dialled again.
nIt still made the same sounds as it did last time.
nBut since the worker told him that he was good, he continued in relief.
nAnd after he punched in the last digit, the sound within the phone changed again.
n'Puuuuuuuuuuppp!'
n'Puuuuuuuuuuuppp!'
n'Catchah!'
n
"Hello!... Stilly!
nIs that you!
"
n
"Yes! Yes!
nIt's me..... Ahhh! It's me!
"
n
"Stilly!!! I can hear you clearly!
"
n
"Me too!
nI can hear you clearly too.
nHahaha!
"
n
"Stilly!... Hahahahaha..... Now I can call you late at night whenever I want to.
"
n
"Hah....eh?
nDon't you dare fool!
nGet off this line now!!!
"
n
"Wait... How do I stop the call again?
