Cell phone nightmare!!!!

Tweet

Oh Lord, these last few months has been an ongoing nightmare with my cell phone. I bought an LG 8600 to replace my old Audiovox phone because the battery wasn't all that great on the Audiovox, had it for a few years and decided hey...lets upgrade. Well, newer isn't always better let me tell you. I had the LG 8600 for about a month and a half and then it started acting a little funny. The screen would freeze, it would turn itself on and off. I never dropped it or got it wet or anything. So finally the screen shut off and I couldn't see anything so I took it back. I filed a warranty claim. They sent the phone back saying it's water damaged? HUH???? How is that possible? I never got it wet, it was never immersed and it's not a humid climate here being that I got it in September and the humidity was down. So, I just transferred service back to old faithful...the audiovox. I used that for awhile until I could figure out what I was going to do because by this time I was just fed up. Yesterday, I woke up, went downstairs put my cell phone and house phone on the counter, made my coffee while my daughter was getting ready for school. She had a new friend meet her over here to walk to school with her. I decided to cut her some slack on the restriction because she is showing much more effort and she does need a break. Well, after they left I went to get my cell phone because I had an appointment and it was gone!!!!! I searched the entire house, just in case maybe I did pick it up while I was half asleep or something. Nope...called it, nothing. I called my daughter at school and she said she didn't have it. Then it dawned on me. I had never seen this other girl before and after they left the phone was gone. I told her to ask that girl if she had taken it. Well, I went to the alltel store to get a new phone just in case. I need my cell phone on me at all times because my paretns aren't in the best of health, my husband calls at odd times and I am on the care team for the miltary wives group. By the time I got home that afternoon after my doctors appointments, my daughter told me that she got my phone, the girl had stolen it. So today, went to the Alltel store, returned the new phone, filed another insurance claim on my broken phone, got issued a new phone and now here I am. Sick to death of cell phones! So if your shopping for a cell phone do not get an LG. They are cheap! They look very nice, but they are crap! The one I got yesterday, which was another LG, started freezing up when I had it on for a couple of hours. It's ridiculous! But I am stuck with it and don't want to pay another $200 for a phone!!!!
