The Phone Exchange

Ended up in here by chance & really pleased! The Mrs Rufus called Yours Truly up because she was in a bind and her Chi got sideswiped by technology.
Long pilgrimage short, she uses an iPhone4 to swipe credit cards for her business. The swiper is not like others that plug into any device. It is fit to a specific device (an iPhone 4 in this case). As we are forever tied together in matrimonial bliss, my Chi got tangled up in this Four Alarm Conundrum. Herein lies the rub … the old iPhone is used via WiFi. It’s technically no longer a phone. It is used merely to submit credit card & debit card transactions. So, now we have a device that is totally worthless but it has to be replaced with an iPhone 4. And no stinkin way am I payin full retail for a glorified iPod Touch.
Of course the device dying and Mrs R. not being able to run charges is all my stinkin’ fault! I mean, NATURALLY! I’m never there, haven’t touched the thing & you guessed it … my fault. Ah, the joys of matrimony. As usual, I digress. Post ear gnawing and subsequent blood pressure hike, my Chi is toes up in the ditch.
So, I think to myself, «Rufus, what the Fried Samosas are you gonna do to get this situation resolved, bring Mrs R. to bay and reclaim your Chi?» This is when I remembered this cell phone exchange business had opened on Bearden Hill.
It’s a nice, clean place between Soccer Taco and Pendergrass Shoe Repair. I was warmly welcomed by a nice man by the name of Ryan. I explained my situation to Ryan. He completely understood my situation and was able to help me find an affordable replacement. He was extremely knowledgeable (which is great b/​c I’m tech deficient). I never felt like the idiot I am.
They seem to have a wide selection of phones and smart devices. They buy, sell and trade the devices. I would encourage any & all to stop in if you need this service.
As a side note, I was very impressed with something that happened when I was in the store waiting for my device to charge. A man came in wanting to sell his smart tablet. He had pulled up to the store with 2 other people in a dirty ass $ 300 jalopy that was on its last leg. It was quite apparent that they were all 3 hard up for cash. Ryan treated this man with the respect he was due. He was extremely polite and informed the man that his particular tablet was not in high demand (thus not worth a whole lot wholesale). He was very sympathetic to the man’s situation. You could tell that the man appreciated Ryan’s honesty and professionalism. Anyway, it was good to see people being treated well no matter their station in life.
