Use An Old Phone | How To Fix A Broken Mobile Screen

You need a phone, but your screen is cracked. So, what can you do? Well, a good option is to just use an old phone instead. Whether your phone cannot be used due to the smashed screen, or it’s been sent away for repairs, you’ll need a replacement. The best place to find one is usually stashed away in the back of a drawer.

Without any existing replacement plans for your mobile screen, look for a few things when using old phones:

• Battery, Screen and Sound functionality
• A charger or connecting cable that work
• SIM-card slot is clean and functioning
• There’s enough memory on the phone to last for some time.

That’s all you need before getting your hands on a new smart handset. It doesn’t matter if you switch from this:

Even if you don’t have an old phone you can switch to temporarily, a friend or relative might. Ask, and you’ll have a handy replacement until you’ve decided what to do with your phone and its cracked screen.

 

Pay Up For Screen Repair

How much is it to replace a phone screen?

While you could ship your phone to the official manufacturer, you’re going to have to pay through the nose for that option.

There’s probably a local phone repair shop that you can try, and a Google search will show you where to find one, as well as customer reviews. Although you’ll probably be paying by the hour, a skilled technician can replace a screen pretty quickly.

Check the prices and compare the repair shop’s competitors before you try them out. We’ve looked at several places that fix broken iPhone screens to give you an idea.

Selling Your Phone | Funding A Replacement

There’s more to fixing a broken screen if you think about removing replacement costs by simply buying a new phone.

Thinking about raising funds for a replacement? Several outlets in Pakistan offer buying your phone for a cut-price with net payment.

Many sites will also give you credit for buying a used phone when you trade yours in. You’ll probably get a better deal if you take credit instead of cash, so keep that in mind.

With cash raised, check the web’s most popular online stores for a replacement. The best places to start are Ali Express and Ali Baba.

You may even find a version of your own phone in used, but otherwise good condition. Just pay attention to the item description. You don’t want to end up buying a damaged phone!

What should you check? Well, the details should tell you:

• If the phone is working
• Does it have a functioning screen?
• If it has any scratches
• The body panels are untouched

 

Buy A New One!

And, of course, the most obvious option: buying a new phone. Sometimes you just need to pony up the cash to replace your damaged device.

Sure, it might be painful to spend that much money. But it might be cheaper than buying a replacement and upgrading a few months later anyway. If you were already thinking about upgrading soon, it might be best to just do it now.

If you do decide to buy a new phone, don’t automatically buy one from your carrier. Buy an unlocked version instead; it’ll save you a lot of money, even though it seems more expensive.
