What I don't understand is this,
u must get more than just the cencers.
Something was mentioned on behalf lasting for quite a few years.
So that part I don't understand.
I do have the I phone up to date, so I would be down loading an app correct?
I would be asking for the dex com cmg?
Don't want to ask for the wrong thing, and I can since I don't understand.
Thanks,
