One thing we hate – OK, two things
we hate – about replacing a mobile are, a) having to buy all new
accessories for it that didn’t come with it, like a car charger, skins
and a case; and b) having to install all of our contacts onto the new
phone. So we tend to avoid upgrades unless absolutely necessary. Which
is why we totally identify with these 10 signs that you need a new
mobile:- Can’t Find Parts/Accessories – When retailers stop supporting a model, you know it’s time to get a new one. Even the carrier that sold you the phone no longer keeps them is stock. That’s a definite sign.
- Range – If you are capable of throwing your cell phone further than its signal range, you might want to think about moving up a notch or two. It may just be an issue with your mobile service, but you’ll still likely need a new phone if you switch providers.
- Battery Won’t Charge – If you’ve had the phone so long that the battery no longer takes or holds a charge, you’ve gotten your money’s worth out of that thing. Chances are the cost of a replacement battery won’t be a whole lot less than the charge to upgrade phones with a contract.
- Not App-Capable – Smart phones are so-called because of their versatility, the range of functions they can be configured to do. Phone apps are necessary in order to have any of that functionality. Without the ability to download apps, your phone is just a phone.
- A Phone By Any Other Name – Your mobile provider has changed names three times, and/or has since merged with yet another provider since you bought your current phone. Yes, we’re talking about you, SunTel, BellSouth Mobility, Cingular, Nextel people.
