Let’s just admit something openly right here: Our cell phones are among our most prized possessions. Our phones help us keep track of our day-to-day activities, redirect us when we’re lost in a new city, and let us spy on our former high school BFF who is now heavily involved in a multilevel marketing company. So, when you drop your phone on the ground and it shatters the glass (making it a finger hazard) or it accidentally falls into a pool of water from the back pocket of your jeans, it can be a devastating blow.

The more you depend on your phone to manage your life, the more devastating it is when it breaks. So, what happens if you drop your prized possession and you end up with a screen full of spiderweb cracks or you jump in the pool and forget your phone is in your pocket? What if you've tried every charger you own and the power level still won't budge from 2%?

We’re not going to pretend that shattering your iPhone screen is any fun (and if we did, would you believe us anyway?). It can be a costly and time-consuming ordeal, especially if you’re going into it without prior knowledge of what you’ll be dealing with.

If you’re reading this, there’s a good chance you’ve got a device with a flashing Apple logo sitting in the palm of your hand right now. First things first: relax – we’ve got your back.

Unlike that person you messaged on a dating app, if your iPhone won’t respond to you, there’s something you can do about it. Whether you’ve got a black screen, an app is frozen, or the thing simply won’t turn on, there are a number of causes that could make an iPhone unresponsive – and a number of ways to fix it.

One good thing about owning an iPhone is that you can be sure that your data is very secure, as long as you have a passcode in place. If someone gets ahold of your phone, they can theoretically make use of it, but only after all the data has been deleted—which means the photos of you doing that silly pose in front of the Leaning Tower of Pisa will never be seen by the public eye (it’s better that way, really).

It can be pretty tempting to just keep using your phone as usual if you’ve got a cracked phone screen – after all, you may not want to drop the extra cash or run out and get it fixed in the middle of the workday. Add to that the fact that the damage may appear minor at first, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for procrastination – not that most of us need much help putting off a chore.

At Puls, we’re pretty proud of the fact that we’ve become one of the most popular options around when it comes to cell phone repair. We’ve got great coverage over lots of locations, convenient service, and highly-qualified technicians that go through a strict vetting process before they can join our team (not to mention our tough to beat guarantee).

It’s inevitable that you’re going to need a phone repair service at some point – there is, after all, regular wear and tear, and even the strongest phone case isn’t fool-proof.

Think fast...if you're running late for work and had to forget one thing at home, would you rather forget your lunch or your iPhone?
