I got a new iPhone about ten months ago. (My last one got stolen.) I dicked around with the settings. I set up e-mail, threw some apps on there, as one does. I figured I’d set up voicemail when I had a sec.
I’m still waiting for that sec.
If I call myself I still get the “Welcome to your new mailbox!” I really meant to set it up, …
