Stupid phone

My phone has never really worked well. It won't hold a charge to save it's life. Never has, really, but it is worse than ever now. I've swapped batteries with to no avail. The call quality sucks pretty much as well, but I've always just ignored it. I hate talking on the phone anyway, so what does it really matter? Now I've managed to break the little plastic thingy (that's a technical term, btw) that holds the battery on, so now I've had to tape the damn thing together.

My phone plan has a replacement thing that I pay for each month. I can't just take the phone to the local store; no, I must call an 800 number to get them to send me packing materials and send my phone in before it can be replaced. So I finally decided to call the number today. I have to pay $35 to get this phone replaced. I've been paying $4 a month for four friggin' years and I have to pay to get it replaced??? I am so pissed off about that. I hate this phone to begin with and now this??

Bah.
