Have you ever had a “Mobile mishap”? Maybe your phone has gotten lost, dropped, or broken? If so, Asurion would like to help with their protection packages. And to cheer you up after a phone catastrophe, they would also like to offer one lucky Contest Corner reader their choice of either a $40 Amazon or iTunes gift code, so read on!
Amazingly enough, I can’t think of any mobile mishaps that I personally have had. Jai was just commenting that my first-generation iPhone is in pristine condition – I try really hard to be careful with it, and I’ve had the good luck of not dropping it or being victimized by theft. And my pay-as-you go cell phone is seven years old. In cell phone years, that’s like an eternity or something. 😉 I’ve been lucky, but I’m the exception to the rule. It seems like everyone I know has a horror story about a phone getting its screen cracked, misplaced, or lost forever. Asurion offers protection packages through most wireless companies that can assist you with securing your data, getting tech support, or replacing an MIA phone as quickly as possible.

I dropped my phone into the toilet many times.
I dropped my cell phone in the toilet
I keep dropping my phone on the ground. Little pieces have chipped off…..
My 3 year old dropped my phone in the toilet, while on vacation. Thankfully after blow drying it and letting it dry out, it still works.
Knock on wood, I haven’t really had any mobile mishaps either, but of course that’s probably because I always get the free phones that are years behind on technology. I’m sure that as soon as I bought a nice smart phone, something would end up happening to it! I guess the worst mishap I’ve had is that I always forget to charge it or leave it at home–neither of which do me any good when I need to call someone!
I’ve dropped my phone on the pavement and cracked it.
I can never find my phone at the bottom of my purse. I can never get to it before it goes to voicemail.
We were canoeing, dumped the canoe, and the phone got very waterlogged.

Dropped phone and cracked it 🙁
Put my phone through a whole wash cycle

My phone once ran out of battery when I was stranded with a broken down car in the middle of Nebraska!
My phones seem to random begin having software/hardware problems about a year after I get them.

I lost my phone & all the time it was right on my stand.
The mishaps go all to my husband who looses his phone, every year. He is on his third phone now. I am going to permanently attach it to him soon so he does not loose it. This is a very expensive habit.
I dropped my cellphone just as a party was about to start. It wouldn’t restart or show any signs of life. Then about an hour later I was able to reboot it. That was 2 years ago and the phone still works (more or less!)
none as of yet just leave it places
While buckling my kids into their car seats, I had placed my phone ontop of my car roof. We went on our way and it wasn’t until we returned to our house, that I saw my phone laying in our street, smashed.
I smashed my phone in a car door three days after I got it.
Dropped my phone in a train station, and all the parts came flying apart!

I dropped my first cell phone in the toilet. Oops.

Hubby was surf cast fishing in the ocean. Got hit by a heavy wave. His cell phone did NOT like the salt water bath. Stopped Dead.
Nothing too major. I often forget my phone on my desk at work at night.

I let my husband use my phone – he dropped it then accidently stepped on it.
I washed my phone in the wash machine. Forgot to take it out of my jeans pocket before washing them!

My son dialed 911 on my iPhone and the 911 operator called me back to let me know. He wasn’t even 2 yet when he did that. I’ve never broken my phone but for some odd reason my phone cords keep breaking, Oh and I have replaced my iPhone case 3 times from it being dropped.
I dropped mine in the toilet and had to fish it out.

I have only had my cell phone replaced once ever! And it happened because I was letting my daughter use it while we were outside and she dropped it just as my son was backing up in his car and his back tire rolled over it. She has her own cell phone now.
I haven’t had one but hubby dropped his in a parking lot and shattered it. I’m just glad that it was his work phone or he would be without a phone. Thank you!
