I've had a rough couple of weeks. On vacation at our place in the north, my old laptop lost use of its usb function and my air card, which I used to connect to the internet no longer worked. Went to the AT&T store and got talked into a new phone that had a "mobile hot spot" function. Great!!! Only $100 later, I was back on line. . . A few days later, it fell out of my pocket, into the river. . .no insurance. . .3 days later, still not dry and not working. . .went back to AT&T and updated my second phone for another $100 (added insurance and a special water resistant holder for another $50). A couple of days later, my old laptop died with absolutely no warning!! Another one hour trip to the big city to buy a new laptop-what an expensive summer this has been!!!! But-I'm back on line!!!!

Those are the times when I hate technology! lol... glad you're back. I'm sure you'll be a "regular" again in no time.

oy... if it's not one thing, it's another. And sometimes it's the same darn thing over and over...

Glad you're back!!

I was just reading some paperwork that goes with my credit card & it appears I have coverage for loss for the 1st 90 days. It also doubles the warranty period of items purchased with the credit card. Did you happen to purchase your phone with a credit card?
