Someone missing the point...

So, my cell phone is dying the death of the 4-year-old battery. Darned thing won't keep a charge anymore. I just barely use it enough to justify its existence, but so be it, time to look for a new phone.

I go to Sprint's website, to pick one out, and come to their login page. It has been years since I logged in - I don't remember my password. So, I jump through their "forgot my password" hoops...

...and they text message my password to my phone. Which, of course, is dead, and cannot receive the text message. *sigh*.

Will the phone work if it's plugged in to the wall? That would let you get the password, at least.

So far, no. It gives me a "Battery Charging" screen, and no access to the phone's functions. perhaps after it has reached sufficient charge, I'll have access, so we'll wait and see.
