Ok. So, I've dropped my cell a couple of times, and it's pretty damaged. Most of the damage is on the non-cover part. I don't have insurance, and I don't want to buy a new one. Is there way I can repair it??
I heard about a type of spray you can spray on your cell phone to repair it, but i don't think it really works.
Thanks for the help in advance. :-)

I have never heard of a spray to fix your phone. I would be skeptical, especially since you dropped it and say it's pretty damaged.
You can certainly TRY to go through the company covering your phone, it's worth a try. Bottom line: it's going to be a human that decides whether or not to cover the cost of a new one for you. If you get a nice person, great. If you don't, try again a couple more times until you get your way:)
Maybe flirt a little, that never hurts.

Don't spray it!!!!!!! liquid will KILL your phone, worse then it is now. Check with your provider, lots of them have service techs that will fix it for 20-50 bucks depending on whats wrong with it. Also talk to your provider about the service, if you are still in contract, and close to being out, they might cut you a deal if you are willing to re-sign, as far as scrubbing the early break fee, or letting you re-up earlier for the promo price on the phone. Also try ebay, yard sales, and such to see about new cheap phones, just make sure they are GPS capable ( GOV required now) and that they match the provider.
Good luck!

Don't waste your money on any spray product .. it will not work. If the phone functons ok hang on to it until it dies and then check on E-bay for a good second hand phone for your carrier. Many carriers offer replacement phones for free or close to free when your original contract ends if you agree to extend the contract.
If you want to just cover up the damage then maybe consider buying a phone case .. for example:

If it still works use it 'til it dies. What service do you have in PA? Sometimes the company owned retail establishment stores (CORE) have old phones that people have turned in as trade ins to get newer phones in the back area of the store. Talk with someone at one of these stores and see if they'll sell you one of these used phones cheap. Good luck.

Does it still work? If it does, leave it alone; if it doesn't get a new one.
