My wife won't charge her cell phone
This is so classic, a snowy/cold day like today and anna forgot to charge her phone, so it's dead, no way to get ahold of her after leaving a gmail at her office, trying to make plans for after work.
I'm usually not a worry wart, but she does this shit all the time! Any tips/hints on how to get her to remember? For me, it's easy--my phone is in my pocket, and when I go to bed I plug it in. When I leave in the morning, I unplug it and it goes back in my pocket. She puts it in her purse, so it's out of sight/out of mind all the time!

Re: My wife won't charge her cell phone

Re: My wife won't charge her cell phone
Tell her to just charge it every night. Janelle does this same thing and when it dies on her I just laugh and tell her its her own fault and I don't feel bad at all. It is really frustrating though; I feel ya there.

Re: My wife won't charge her cell phone
take her phone and set the alarm for 3 A.M. and put it next too her nightstand, just out of her reach.
when i goes off remind her to plug it in!
do this for a week and she will most definately remember!!!

Re: My wife won't charge her cell phone
I do the same, As I go to bed I set the alarm to get up and plug it in. The wife has hers surgically attached to her finger tips so she is fully aware when it needs charging. We both "hook'em up" as we go to bed.

Re: My wife won't charge her cell phone
I know my mother puts her phone on the charger and then sticks it in her purse so she won't forget it.
Maybe just buy her a car charger, a home charger and a work charger. Then no matter where she is she can charge it.

Re: My wife won't charge her cell phone
Cancel the phone, no sense paying for it if it's 'broken' all the time.

Re: My wife won't charge her cell phone
Seeing as an extra battery, car charger, and wall charger would probably cost $2.97 plus $8 shipping on ebay, I would buy the above.
