Broken Phone

Last Aug/Sept I got a new phone. Ever since then I've been having problems with it. Mid April it randomly broke while I was on tour in Canada. I found out I could text for free and was pretty happy that I would still be able to talk to Harrison. First day gone while I'm texting my screen goes blank and never turned back on. The screens and earpiece stopped working. In other words I could make phone calls but I could only hear anything if it was on speaking. And calling someone was in the dark. I made guesses on if the phone was on and if I was calling the right person. I called my parents and by the time I got back from tour I had a new phone waiting for me.

Then this summer the replacement started having problems. A couple weeks before the wedding I get a text and the phone reboots. A min later I get the same text and the phone again reboots. It would continue to do that the rest of the night and into the morning. Using my dad's phone I was able to call Verizon and they reset it somehow online. Seems to have fixed it. WRONG! About 3 weeks after the wedding it starts doing that again. Luckily it only does it for an hour or so. This time I go to Verizon and they fix my phone the same way but also orders a replacement.

Now I'm on phone #3. For the most part it has been working great but it still hasn't been perfect. At least once a week it would reboost after I sent a text or took a picture. I was thinking about going to Verizon to see if that was bad enough to get a new phone again. This time a completely different phone. Not just a replacement. Well after today I have to get a new phone. The only pocket I have is in my backpocket. Of course I completely forget that my phone is there and so when I go to go to the bathroom my phone falls into the toilet! It was only in there for max 5 seconds but now it will not turn on at all. I quickly dried it out but the most I can get it to do is the beginning of turning on. After the first screen it turns back off. Guess its time to get a new phone.
