Where Should I Buy My Phone Charger?

Sign in to disble this ad
Another dumb question that maybe you guys can relate to! So I have a blackberry tour and well like most accessories the quality sucked and the wall charger broke. The Verizon store is selling a micro usb charger for 32 bucks (which I bought, and will return tomorrow), and I'm wondering where I can buy a decent charger. Sure ebay has $6 wall and car chargers but have you guys had any success with those? They sell a bajillion of em and I don't wanna be one of the those unlucky campers that dishes out a neutral or negative feedback in fury. The crackberry shop also has chargers but those are around 15 bucks and with shipping it'll still be pretty darn expensive still. Where do you guys buy your chargers? For now i'm charging my phone trough my laptop....bam. Thanks guys!

Best Buy or any electronic store should have Micro USB chargers for your car.

If not, Best Buy has Dynex 12V to USB adapters you can use.

I bought a micro USB cable off Amazon for a few bucks. Works great.

They dont have those $5 Cellular Accessory huts set up at gas stations on the weekends where youre at? Though it'll probably cost you like $10

Probably the most expensive places to buy someething like that would be Brookstone, the Sharper Image (if it still exists) … and your wireless phone provider.

Look on eBay, in electronics stores, etc.

This will sound sketch, but can be done. If you happen to be going to a hotel anytime soon, wait it out. Go to the front desk and tell them you forgot/lost your charger. They will have a box (if not several boxes) full of lost chargers. Usually one will fit. In my experience, they will just give it to you. Free charger.

eBay. If it's cheap, I'm willing to roll the dice on it, but that's just me.
