Need to replace a cell phone? Get creative
DALLAS _ Ellen Savage dropped her cell phone one time too many. Kevin Brown went swimming with his cell phone, and then its replacement. David Stixroot knocked his phone into a hotel toilet, then dropped the replacement phone into a swimming pool skimmer.
The method of phone death may differ, but all three and many others have faced the same predicament _ how can one replace a broken, lost, stolen or dunked cell phone without going broke? If you’re at or near the end of your contract, the cellular company usually will provide a new one for free or at a subsidized price.
