Mobile phone

[DrChandra]

My son bought a mobile phone costing over 200 pounds.However before he even used it he lost the charger which came with it on holiday.He says it is impossible to buy a charger specifically for the phone without buying a new phone.Is this true? It just seems such a waste of an expensive new phone.

you can get a charger from most phone shops, especially if it's a new phone depends what make it is...some phones like samsung, have the same charger for alot of different phones...failing that you'll definatley get one on eBay

It's usually a lot cheaper to buy a non-branded charger too. I left my original/branded charger for my Sony Ericsson in a hotel room, when I enquired about buying an original replacement from one of the usual high street shops the price was rediculous, so I opted for a generic non-branded replacement at a considerable reduction. Argos sell a multi-adaptor mains charger (compatible with most Nokia, Sony Ericsson, Samsung and Motorola phones) for �9.99 !

Thanks for those answers.They were both very useful.
