    while trying to remove the sticker to get my number to input I’m computer the whole thing came off. I no longer have a number to download on my computer. Tried calling several times. Very long hold times and when someone picked up they were from another country so I could not understand him at all. Will be going back to Best Buy and down loading one on line. Not worth the $50 I shelled out.
