Well, you know that a true thunderstorm came through when your cell phone gets zapped. I was charging it last night and it took a lightning bolt to the head. Unfortunately, this means that I will be without phone service for a while, until I can talk with the phone company about getting the phone replaced. They are sending me a new battery right now, since the darn thing won’t turn on without a battery. I think that’s kinda silly. So, anyway, if you need to get in touch with me, leave me a voicemail, and I will return it when I can!

Re: Cell Phone Zapped
Wow. Quite the informed reply. I’m not sure who you are, but thanks! Unfortunately, the battery sensing pin is too small, since this is a Samsung phone. At the Verizon store, the rep tried a new phone body with the same battery and that phone body wouldn’t turn on either, so, her first recommendation was the battery.
I figure both the battery and the phone are probably fried. However, I’m hoping it’s just the battery, since I don’t have a backup of my phone book!
