How Can I Fix My Cell Phone?

The answer to the question, "How Can I Fix My Cell Phone?" is not an easy one to answer. As the owner of a website dedicated to Cell Phones, and Cell Phone Accessories, I have run into a lot of interesting situations in regards to this question. The first way I would address it is to say, "don't try and do it yourself unless you have some backround in electronics or Mobile Phone repair". There are too many things that can go wrong. The major cell phone manufacturers, such as: Motorola, Nokia, Samsung, Pantech and Palm Treo have service centers that can accomodate most any repair. Also service providers like: AT&T Wireless, (formerly Cingular Wireless), Verizon Wireless, T-Mobile, Nextel, Sprint PCS and Alltel usually have local company stores that can send your phone out for service. Don't forget to fill out the warranty information when you first purchase your phone. Most cell phones have a 1 year limited warranty. I will include important phone numbers at the end of this article.

Another variation to, "How Can I Fix My Cell Phone?" is "How Can I Fix My Cell Phone It Got Wet?" My answer to this question is usually replace your phone. If you are desperate, DON'T turn the phone on, take the battery out immediately and dry the phone out for a couple of hours. This rarely works and if it does it is for a short period of time. These days most air-time providers offer insurance to have your cell phone replaced. Also check with your service provider about extending your contract and getting a brand new phone as a result.

Cell Phone - Fun Facts

Here are some fun facts that will help you better understand cell phones and how they work. 

1. Cell Phones are radios. They are not phones at all. They depend on line of site radio waves to function. Simply put, if they are not getting a signal from a cell phone (radio) tower, they won't work properly. This explains why they don't work well in structure, like buildings, homes etc. If they do work, this means there is a tower close enough for the cell phone to pick up the signal to work.

2. Motorola developed a type of cell phone used in World War II! You know the phones you see the army guys using to call in bombings or to call for help, while in combat, in movies? These were some of the very first cell phones in existance. They were used in trains, cabs and airplanes. They were all technically radios (see above).  Bell Labs submitted a proposal for cell phone technology (as we know it today) in 1971 and the FCC approved the format in 1982! Hooray for beauracracy!

3. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) each regulate wireless telephones. FCC ensures that all wireless phones sold in the United States follow safety guidelines that limit radiofrequency (RF) energy. FDA monitors the health effects of wireless telephones. Each agency has the authority to take action if a wireless phone produces hazardous levels of RF energy.

4. Cell Phone etiquette. Yes, there is such a thing. Use common sense here. Keep you phone off in public places. This includes restuarants, movie theatres, meetings, stores etc. Nobody wants to hear your conversation, it is rude and irresponsible to use your phone in this manner. This includes texting! Please think of others. If you must take the call, put the cell phone on vibrate, and take the call outside.
