[ 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?? ]

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. ]

[ 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.

Didn't have words. Guess it was more like a chime.

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.
