I have the sheriff's department phone number on my cell phone. Just
realized it today as I was cleaning up my contact list on Verizon Backup
Assistant. New Samsung S5 comes tomorrow. Old Moto RAZR is having
severe battery issues. I need to keep the phone with me in case I fall
or something to Verizon shortened my contract date so I could upgrade
the phone at the end of contract price.
