No phone? No service? No problem.

My iPhone is generally fairly reliable, but wouldn’t you know it – it suddenly turned wonky on a weekend when I had a big project due. I didn’t have the time to take my phone in for troubleshooting, but I HAD to know who was calling, and HAD have access to my messages.

Cue Ribbit Mobile. I simply logged into my account online to see who had called, and who had left me a message. Throughout the weekend, I was able to check my missed calls, read my messages, and make calls via the web-based phone. Since I have my preferences set to use my mobile number as my Caller ID, the people I was calling knew it was me on the other line.

It’s the little things that matter… and having a backup phone through Ribbit Mobile made what could have been a very stressful weekend a relatively calm one.

This feature even comes in handy when my iPhone is perfectly well behaved. My parents live in a rural area, where mobile coverage is iffy at best; going to visit them was always somewhat stressful, as I was almost guaranteed to miss important calls. But they do get internet, so now I can extend my visits, knowing that I can still access all my phone communications online through Ribbit Mobile. It sure makes my mom happy…

Where would you go more often if you didn’t have to worry about losing service on your mobile phone?
