Why don't you just clean it yourself? Just get some Q-tips wet and lightly scrub around the buttons.

If it costs 200 bucks to clean it, and it costs 300 bucks for a brand new one?
I think I would pay the 100 dollars difference and get the brand new one.

Also, if you honestly took good care of it and its buttons are messed up, why buy another. Id go with a different type of phone if possible. Besides, 200 a month is a little extreme or maybe Im just old fashioned. |

I say ditch the one you have now. Sell it on ebay or something and put the money towards buying a new one (not necessarily the exact same phone). Only buy what you NEED. Considering you take good care of it, i think it is worth your while to just buy a new one. With phones these days, it is better to get a new one than to repair one or get a new battery (in most not all cases though).

All it takes is a little water. |

Woah...I'm not an idiot. I was just asking for orher oppions. And the only reason as to why its 200 a month is because I got calls/txt/IMS/Internet and email. All unlimited because the overage fees are outrageous......

All unlimited because the overage fees are outrageous...... Well.. yeah, you are stupid. If you are willing to pay someone $200 to fix something that only requires a small amount of water, then you're a fool who deserves to be parted with his money. Why don't you give me a call the next time your car needs some gas. For the low one-time fee of $7,000 I will come to your house, drive your car to the gas station a fill it up, and I will drive it back to your house.* *Extra fees for actual price of gas and cigarettes, beef jerky and soda for me may apply. |

I don't like my cellphone company - they want to charge me $35 to activate my old phone while my new one gets sent away for warranty, and another $35 when the new one comes back.
I wish I had a GSM phone with the sim card.
