It was a very difficult situation when my cell phone died and It took about 5 days to try to repair it and then to replace it.

Here’s another option for you. If you have an iPhone or upgrade to an iPhone, which is superior to an Android cellphone, you could add an iWatch. The iWatch can also be a backup to the iPhone, and will work independently of the iPhone if the iPhone breaks, or even if you forget the iPhone in your home or car. The iWatch only needs the iPhone periodically for updates.
Sometimes we misplace our iPhones around the house, and we can quickly locate the misplaced iPhones by using the iWatch to active the iPhone ringer. If you misplace the iWatch, you can call it with another cellphone or landline causing it to ring.
The iWatch also has health monitoring features, which can be helpful. The iWatch costs another $10 a month to your cellphone bill. With our T-Mobile service, one iWatch is $10 a month extra, and the other iWatch is free. Plus, we get free Netflix and free WiFi in some of the airlines.
