Mobile Mishaps: What’s the Worst Thing You’ve Done to Your Phone?


As a Digital Debutante, it is a must that I have a smartphone. I purchased my first smartphone back in 2004, a Palm Treo that I absolutely loved. I went from a Treo to a Blackberry Pearl to a Blackberry Curve, to a Blackberry Bold, to an Android, and now to the iPhone. That is a lot of phones. And thankfully, I had insurance on each device just in case. I’ve had my share of cracked screens, and even left one of my phones in my pocket and washed it. Of course, it didn’t work anymore, so it was off to the store to get another one. And I’ve even lost my phone and had to get it replaced. There were no worries because I had insurance to replace it.

According to a recent Asurion Infographic, 80 million people damage their cellphones in the United States. That’s 2.5 phones per second, 152 devices per minute, 9, 132 phones per hour, and 219, 178 mobile phones per day!

With our busy lifestyles, it’s easy to accidentally drop your phone and crack the screen, or accidentally get it wet beyond repair. That’s why it’s important to have insurance on your device. I know with a teen, it gives me a peace of mind that if he accidentally destroys his phone, it is covered.

The month of July is the most damaging month for cellphones. According to Asurion, more phones are lost, stolen, or damaged in the month of July than in any other month. Maybe it has something to do with the heat!

Whatever the case and no matter the phone, it’s a must-have to have insurance for your phone. The few bucks you spend a month on it is well worth it because you never know when you will have to use it. And who has money to pay the full-price for a phone these days?

Asurion and I want to know what’s the worst thing you’ve done to your phone in terms of mobile mishaps. If you share your story in the comment section below, you could win a $40 iTunes or Amazon gift card. This giveaway ends August 28th, 2012 at 6pm CST. A winner will be selected at random. This giveaway is open to U.S. and international readers, void where prohibited.

    The most I’ve done is it falling out my purse hitting the ground. Of the many times this has happened only once did it not work after. It would power on but the screen would stay black. Easy fix. I have an EVO and this is the first phone I’ve purchased insurance for and glad I did.

    While we were sitting outside on our bench and I was about to take a pictue, my son slapped my phone out of my hand and it landed on the pavement. Needless to say, the screen is cracked. Lesson: Will get insurance on renewal. Great post.

    I dropped my phone in the Chesapeake Bay…not on purpose.

    Sadder news..It wasn’t even my phone. It was my BF’s at the time.

    I dropped one phone into the toilet (thankfully I had insurance) and it died very shortly there after. It was an original Motorola Droid, and it didn’t have the “power” to withstand such a fluid mess. I remember the day it happened…I was cleaning the bathroom and listening to The Temptations Greatest Hits album on Napster (now Rhapsody). The song “The Way You Do The Things You Do” came on, and I was dancing around and accidently swiped the phone from the sink into the open toilet. At that very moment, you forget that it’s improper to dive your hands into the toilet, and you scuba to save your phone.

    The second time I dropped my phone in the toilet, it was badly damaged, but it lived! This was a different phone – my current device a Samsung Droid Charge. Apparently they’re making them more durable again?

    I’ve dropped my phone in the toilet before. I was at a wedding and I had to carry my phone around because it wouldn’t fit in my small clutch. It wouldnt work for days but eventually it dried out.
