My co - workers of mine, who broke her cell phone this morning due to her careless act. That is her second time of this month that broke her cell phone. I think that the T - Mobile gonna charge her another $100 some dollars again to replace a new phone. My girlfriend too, she didn't really take good care of phone. She either damaged it or lost it somewhere. She always have to replace a new phone with a lot of money been wasted. Although you might get a free cellphone from your service provider, you have to take good care of your phone too; or they might charge a lot of money for the second one.

When I get a new cellphone, I was so excited for the new model, and I really take card of the cellphone, and never lost it somewhere, but when the cellphone is not new any more, I don't like it as it was a new one, so I don't do as good as it was a new one, sometimes I will forget it at somewhere, I know this is not good, and not fair to the cellphone.

I'm quite careless about my cellphone too. Although i can't live without it. I just find myself dropping it here and there especially from my bed while i sleep along with it listening to music. I bet it must have fallen 100 times since the past 4 years i had been using it. Luckily it has been loyal to me so far and survive the fall.. lol.. Maybe that's the reason i take it for granted, it just keep on going

I usually take very good care of the newly bought phone, but I tend to be less careful after I use it for couple months, I started to just put it anywhere when I come home and stuff.

I always get the free phone when I upgrade or change cellular providors, but even so I don't want to use the insurance I pay $3.00 a month for. And there is the obligatory $50.00 copay that I certainly don't want to pay, therefore I take care of my phone. I do lose it from time to time but only in my house, and its usually in one of two places or easy to find. I've had one phone washed in while it was n the pocket of a pair of pants, I had gone to visit my best friend and gotten muddy runninr into her house in the rain, while I showered she washed my pants with my phone inside. Very funny, but I was due for an upgrade anyway so I renewed my contract and got another free phone instead of replacing the soggy one. I think it important to take care of anything you have, whether fre or paid for, for one thing its a good habbit, second it will save you money, time, and stress. I find it helps if you name your technology, seriously, it works! My current cell phone is names Doris, because ehs'e an evil mastermind. But my previous phone was named Loch, just because it sounds cool, and he was cool, so there. LOL

Yes I do take extra good care of my cell. I have a silver razor phone. I love my cell phone but sometimes my husband hogs me out on my cell. I told him to go buy him one, LMAO!! But I guess since we have different hours of work I am home & he can call me from my cell & vice verse. And also we are usually together all of the other times. Your friend needs to pay like two extra dollars a month for insurance for it would save her some serious money if she is that careless.

I have had many cellphones that have gone through my hands.. Had lost count on it actually.. And I must admit, I'm not really good at taking care of most of it.. The one that I have right now, I have accidentally dropped it in the toilet bowl in school, and dropped it on the floor for few times.. Well, it's still working.. So I guess, it's not advisable for me to have an expensive phone..

I really take care of my cellphones. My cellphones lasted to me for 8-10 years. I've never experienced of losing cellphones. My husband lost already 3 cellphones. But me...nothing. I do not put my cellphones anywhere. I have a small bag where I keep my phones everytime I do not use them. Everytime I charged my cellphones I turned it off.

I never come to take care of my phone. I know I won't break it or lose it at least. Since I don't care much about my phone, it has become a bit out of the appearance. I have a phone from Verizon. I don't really like it. I don't want to waste money on another phone so I guess I'll have to wait until my contract ends to get another phone. I hardly use cellphone, mainly I use e-mail. It's good to take care of your phone, you don't want to risk your hassle of buying another one.

I don't take care of my mobile, because I will have to change it anyway after some time, my phone have some scraches. If mobile phones were more expensive I probably would take better care of it but if you can afford to buy a new one time after time, it's not necessary to whatch over it like most precious that you have. But it also doesn't mean that you need to break it on purpose.

here the situation is quite different.every time in my life i never broke my mobile but i always changed my mobile dur to too old and i have no fear at present or in my past regarding mobile because i never used so much expensive mobile.even at present iam using the mobile of only 20 $.that's why the fear of broke or loosing one is quite less as compare to otherones.there are no features in my mobile i am using only for communication.anyways still i think that it's better to take care of our mobile so that our hardearned money will never be used for this type of extra expenses

I barely ever have to replace my cell phone. The cell phone I have now I have had for 1 1/2 years and I finally had to replace it last fall. So, I had my cell phone for over a year before I had to replace it. I think my cell phone provider will replace your cell phone if you have insurance two times while you are under contract. I am under contract for 2 years. My contract will be up this summer.

when my phone is brand new, i really take care of it. when it gets dirty, i clean it asap. but now, when im used to my cellphone and it feels kinda old, i dont take care of it anymore. even if it fell from the table, i will not be that upset.

I do take good care of my cell phone, though I don't go to the extent to use a protective cover or case to protect it, I do make sure I use it with care and not allow it to have scratches. But the greatest trouble is to lose the cell phone, because all the important are in it and can be easily stolen by others and made use of.

Yes, I do.. i really take good care of my personal belongings most especially my gadgets like mobile phone, nintendo ds lite, camera and other things.. i always receive praises from my hubby because i am very good at keeping my things, i always handle them with care.. maybe, i have inherited that attitude from my mom.... My two month old cellphone still looks new.. it will pass as brandnew..

No matter what i do, to keep in my mind that phone needs pretty much of attention i always get broke. I am sure guilty as hell to this post. I got four phones already. The other one lose its function because i always happend to throw it. Especially when i am resting in our sofa and when someone ask to borrow it, i always throw it. Oh god, and theres this other that i got lost in the mall, while we were eating in the food court. I am pretty sure, it just slip in my pocket. Pretty careless right, and now this other phone of mind dont function well because of the battery. I really need a private consultant for this carelessness of mine. Ill be taking care of my phone now and then already.
