I forgot to recharge my cell phone and I tried to turn it on this morning. However it had run out of power. I had little time to recharge it but I thought some time would be better than no time at all. I got just enough power for a short phone call later today.
Has your cell phone ever run out of power?

Hi benny: ouch, this experience should hurt so much i think, depending on the importance of that call. I used to do this until my little sister told me that I shouldn't do that because, when you charged a cellphone all night long this would make another kind of contamination so i want to make a little contribution for the planet. Even with that, thanks for your answer benny. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Take Care.

I've had that happen to me more times then I care to count. I would get rather anoyed because it would usually happen when I was eaither in the middle of a call, or it would do it to me in the middle of texting. And, unlike my previous phone my text isn't auto-saved to send or complete later. I so hate the phone I'm using for a back-up.

Happens to my husband all the time. Crappy battery. He has to recharge it daily or one or two conversations will run the battery down. When he's up for a new phone we will get one with a longer lasting battery for sure!

Hi maxima: Actually I will tell you that my cell phone always run out of power and that's because i always forget to recharge it when i need to do this. I just wait to go home again and recharge it in those cases. I mean, it's a dai that I'll be incomunicated, we have to take it easy and think that nothing wrong will happend these hours. In my case it's not a great sacrifice because i am not addicted to the cellphones but I understand that some people couldn't pass a whole day without their cellphones- hope you are not one of them. Lol. XD. It sometimes happends to everybody so we have to relax. Thanks for sharing with us what you forget to do. Hope you are having a nice day. Merry Christmas. Happy Holidays. Take Care.

It has happened to me more times than I can count. When I bought my cell phone, I had purchased 2 extra batteries with it, so I always carry a spare around just in case. It's quite helpful when I forget to charge it during the night. It's actually pretty great, since I haven't had to worry about loss of power since I got my new phone. :]

Hello, I'm Gomer, a cellphone technician from the Philippines. If ever your cellphone run out of power, the solution is to go to a technician and have your battery undergo a "battery shock". A device will be used for that. It only take 8 seconds and your battery is now full. You can try it for a very small fee. But it's a quick solution I think.
