im sittin here all by myself board as heck and doing my phonescoop thing.

when a couple walk in and say they need a pre-pay phone. my immediate thought was to sell them on a go phone. currently in my store we only have the z300 for sale and the moto is sold out. as i was doing my qualifing the male said they just need it to make scarce calls and 911 calls. i proceeded to tell him this device is perfect for that. he then said its for a woman that gets abused and it needs to be cheaper than 60 bucks because there is a chance she'll get caught with it and the phone gets broken. i told him contact the battered women shelter they house phones that make 911 calls.
