“Jenny,
I activated your iPhone 4S today, so you can use it tomorrow when you arrive at SFO on Monday. I Will bring it with me when I pick you guys at SFO. But your current phone is no longer usable. Tell your mom to turn on her phone when you land at SFO.
You will need to go to an ATT store later to transfer address book.
-D”
Excessive? Probably.
Thoughtful? Totally.
My mom laughed so hard at my dad’s enthusiasm over my new phone.
Now me and my parents are phone triplets.
