After doing her grocery shopping, Susan made a trip to a smartphone store near the supermarket. “Hi there. Can you recommend me a good phone?”

The store owner took a few phones out of the display cabinet and placed them on the counter. ”All right. Check these models out. They're suitable for mobile gaming as they have large storage spaces.”

“Might be a little pricey, though.” He reminded after sizing her the girl, thinking she must be a student.

The moment Susan heard that these smartphones were designed for mobile gaming, her eyes brightened. “Okay. I'll take this then. I can use back the same phone number, right? By the way, my SIM card is damaged.”

“Sure, not a problem. Your identification card, please,” the store owner replied.

After contemplating for a while, she decided to show the store owner her identification card. As soon as she got back her phone number, she made the payment for the new phone and went home with it.
