How long do

[Michie]

your cell phones last? I have to replace mine about every 6 months! It doesnt matter if I spend $25,$100, or $300 on one, they still dont last!

My DH has had the same one for 3 or 4 years. I just got mine in January and it's still fine. We don't use them all that much so maybe that's why they last.

What brand do you have? I have Verizon Wireless and my husband and I get them replaced every two years. Do you abuse your cell phone like I do mine, for example..dropping it all the time? That's just what I do all the time and not even on purpose, I guess I'm just a clutz.

What do you do to it?

You realize that you're not supposed to swim with it, drop it in your iced tea or let it fall it in the toilet, right? Mine usually last the 2 years, or close enough to it that they let me get it for the renewal rate.

When my DH's stopped working last time (at almost 2 years) he'd dropped it on the ground one too many times and the ringer stopped working. He didn't think that mattered. We waited until he was at the 2 year mark (a month or so later) and then went and got new phones.

It never said that in the owners manual!!


I have the Treo 650, so it isnt a cheap cheap phone.

We've had our Nokia's for nearly two years now...and no problems. They were free with our package (T-Mobile).

We've been thinking of changing (there's a new "free" offer), but I'm not sure yet.

 

[lillygator]

I've only had 2 cell phones since 2000...

 

[Lil_Tink]

Usually 2 years.

I've never had one wear out. I get sick of them after around 2 years & get a new one, but I've never had a problem with a phone, ever.

Stay out of those greasy spoons.

I usually change mine every 2 years, not because of any problem but just because I get a new contract and new phone at the same time.
