[Blindtlk] Messed up my phone

[Ericka]

 Thank you for your response Heather! When I switched from the 2G to the 5G through sprint it worked fine. I was a bit paranoid I admit! Mailware was what I was thinking about. I don't want to make the government think I am a terrorist because somebody hacked in.
