[Electronics-Talk] That New Phone

[Gerald Levy]

GoGo Grandparent allows you to book Uber rides with any telephone, even 
a land line phone, once you register with them.

They charge the regular Uber fare, plus an additional charge of 27 cents 
per minute for their service.  So a one hour Uber trip would cost the 
regular Uber fare, plus about an additional $16for the Gogo Grandparent 
service. This could become very, very expensive if you make a lot of 
trips with Uber.  But the dirty little secret about Uber and Lift that 
nobody likes to talk about is that they can leave you stranded with no 
way to get home.  Suppose you book a Uber trip to go  to a doctor's 
appointment.  When the appointment is finished, you call for a return 
trip to go home, but you are told, sorry, we don't have any vehicles 
available to pick you up?  Then what?  Gogo Grandparent tells you to 
have a "Plan B" for such a contingency.  Seriously?  What are you 
supposed to do?  Walk all the way home?  Caveat emptor. For anyone who 
has used GoGo, please share your experiences.
