Okay, I admit I'm not the best when it comes to technology but I'm seriously running out of patience here! All I want to do is text someone! I was able to text them before but then I changed their name in my phone and now I can't AND IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT I CAN'T GET NEAR CERTAIN PEOPLE BECAUSE OF THESE BRANDS BUT IF I CAN'T TEXT SOMEONE NOW EXPLODING PRISONS ARE GONNA BE THE LEAST OF THEIR WORRIES.
[Darin takes a deep, steadying breath. Normally, the person he would go to for tech support is Zelda. A person he cannot presently go anywhere near. So now he's the network's problem.]
Look. Okay. I just. I need someone to look at my contacts and tell me if I screwed something up. Because I don't know what I did. I just changed one contact. I change contact names all the time! All the time!
LOOK. HERE.

Huh...in that case, if the person I can't message is the only person I can't message, then that means the data it's been given is wrong. Or calibrated improperly.

Are you sure you didn't change anything else by mistake? Especially if you were already having trouble. [He might have made things worse trying to fix some other problem, if he was getting so fed up with it.]
Why don't you walk me through all the steps you took?
no subject
But these things are pretty small and I've got big hands. Maybe I did hit something I wasn't supposed to.
