My cell phone is dead, I figured it was a battery and would be a reasonably simple (albeit pricey, apparently $90) problem to fix. Turns out where you plug in the charger is warped (why that would be when I've only used the wall charger and phone charger that came with it is beyond me, ty design i guess)

Anyways, looks like I need a new phone because fixing it would be $250 which is more than this phone is probably even worth.
To replace it is $150 dollars and even if i were to add another 3 years to my contract it would STILL be $150 dollars because they discount it from a higher price (thats ed up) and then I'd be stuck with telus for 4-5 years!

Does anybody know how I could get this solved for cheaper? I wanted to just strangle the guy at the Telus store. $150 to replace a phone thats only 1.5 years old is just ridiculous.
Does anybody on CP have a cheap phone they're not using that I could buy and transfer to my account? (is that even do-able?)
I ing hate Telus.
