[ He's currently wondering if there's some sort of word limit to sendng a message, but maybe he shouldn't test that out on Anne. He is taking ages to type, though; after being convinced about the ease of use of a "Blackberry", he's now wrangling his fingers around the tiny buttons. Could he spend less time capitalising ]
I have heard it is reliable over long Distances too, and essentally instantaneous, but in some areas the Signal will be limited or non-existent.
[ this time when it rings again, anne squints at it carefully AND suspiciously, but she manages to actually answer it and keep it answered. there's still a pause before she speaks, after she pulls it closer to her ear, though not against it. she saw other people doing that earlier. ]
Jack? That you?
[ someone's gonna have to tell her you say 'hello' when answering the phone. ]
[ it was weird, but not the worst. he's bound to hear it eventually anyway. ]
The calling thing don't seem too hard so far. I just had to hit the right button. We could practice the text part, just us, till we get a better handle on it.
[ whomst the fuck else are you even going to text right now, anne?? ]
Anne. I have spotted an individual who may be of some use to us. I intend to approach him later this evening and propose an alliance of sorts, such that we can better position ourselves in this society. Your company would be appreciated.
We need to form some connections. I reason that if he can get some of that cash with considerably more finesse than anyone else I saw, he'll be a useful man to know. I'll just pitch that to him.

I have also heard you can "call".
[ Hold on, he's calling her. ]
no subject
[ she's in the middle of slowly typing back her own reply when the phone starts ringing, and she nearly drops it in surprise. ]
[ but she manages to answer it, though her voice is distant, the phone not quite near her face - ]
What the hell -
[ - before accidentally hanging up :( sorry jack, try one more time. ]
no subject
Anne?! It's Ja— [ She hangs up. ] Ah.
[ That could either have been his mistake or hers, so he's just going to try again. ]
no subject
Jack? That you?
[ someone's gonna have to tell her you say 'hello' when answering the phone. ]
no subject
[ She doesn't seem to be yelling, so he doesn't yell either. It's a long distance, but it's almost as if she's in the room with him. ]
It's me. Hearing you loud and clear. Oh, this is going to be enormously useful.
no subject
Faster than a letter. I'll give 'em that.
[ a beat. ]
The calling's better than sending the words. The buttons are so fucking small.

[ she knows jack probably doesn't know but it's a very valid question anyway. ]
It sang a song when you called.

no subject
Didn't have words. Guess it was more like a chime.
no subject
Yes. Fuck the new alphabet.
We ought to get used to it, though – the "texting" and the "cellphone". In case we're separated for some reason.
