Mornin' everyone.

Oh Rosie! Bummer about the phone, sis. :-(

From my experience with Verizon, they'll give you a deal on a new phone if you renew your contract with them.

If you planned on switching carriers anyway, this might be a good time to do it.

Back. Long day, though mostly good.

The phone deal didn't turn out well, though. *sigh* Verizon doesn't let you re-up your contract unless you're finishing one term, so I couldn't just tack on a few years as a means of getting a new phone.

And it wasn't under warranty, though...as it turned out, that wouldn't have covered things anyway. As I was going into the store, the truth was finally revealed - it didn't just get dropped; it got dropped into water. Explains a lot - it's NOT a delicate phone...I've dropped it down a flight of stairs before without a problem, among other drops. It's one of the reasons I chose that model in the first place.

Bottom line was that I ended up having to pay full retail price. Hundred and fifty bucks. That's their absolute cheapest model, so it wasn't as if I got to trade up or anything for that neither.

*sigh*

That's a lot. But I couldn't bring myself to have him pay. It was an accident. Granted, it shouldn't have happened, but I guess that's life. So much for spending money on a new wardrobe for awhile, though.
