Another OCPAIO — One Cell Phone And It’s Over
So often now Exposition Job One is, “How do we get rid of working cell phones?”
Favorites (in order):
1. No bars (coverage)
2. Dead/dying battery
3. Crushed or drowned — inoperative
4. Slipped through fingers down a crack or off a cliff
5. Can’t unlock (no password)
6. Network down (because apocalypse)
BTW, this one tried out a new twist — the cry-for-help message with attempt to send while service out but automagically resent when service is restored … after being deleted.
On which newly-discovered planet was this?
