Josh PWND Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 take it to a local phone shop and ask them how much fix this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anzo Posted January 22, 2008 Report Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Not insured? A cracked screen is classed as 'abuse' so no supplier would accept it under warrenty (goes for anything, not just phones).Check your folks home insurance...sometimes you're covered for things you didn't realise.Before you pay to have it fixed, look at how much it would cost you to cancel your contract. Usually its the price of the phone plus a smallish admin fee. But it might be worth paying out an extra £40 something quid and cancelling, then start a new contract with an updated phone (not sure how old your phone is).
