I kind of did the same thing with my cell, only not the toilet, the washer. I'm with Sprint and I called them, to ask about another phone, they offered to send me a new one, for a few bucks. Till they saw that my contract time was up by 8 months and I had been doing month to month sense then.

Then it was, did you take the replacement ins. out on it, etc etc. So to get a new phone and not have to pay the full price, plus the re-connection fees etc. I had to get a new #, new contract etc, but I got a camera phone, with everything for $20. So I guess it was worth it in the long run. It's not like I can leave Sprint, it the only company that get good service at the house, I'm so far out here.
