Lingo Day 3 and 4

Day 3 - Nothing exciting, my package looks like it will be ontime and delivered on Friday!!

Day 4 - At first I thought this would be the same as Day 3, however I was poking around the Lingo site and noticed the feature called, "Simultaneous Ring". Basically, if this feature is enabled and someone calls your Lingo phone, the call will ring on up to five different phone numbers that you specify. Even though I didn't have my phone adapter yet, I decided to give this a try. I enabled the feature and added my cell phone to the list of numbers to ring when I recieved a call. I tested this out by calling my temporary local number and my cell phone rang immediately! Amazing! I had a friend in Brazil call my new Brazilian telephone number and the call came right through! It was great, the quality was better than most phone cards and I was talking for a flate rate!!! Incredible, I can't wait until tomorrow when I can actually start to make calls!


(A side note, when I first set up my "Simultaneous Ring" feature, I had a problem when my international friends in Brazil tried to call me. This was because I had forgotten to put a +1 in front of my number - so, initially I had 5125551212 and this was resulting in my friends hearing a ring and then silence. I made the number +15125551212 and presto! It worked!)
