(5) Work (cable+plug)

I also have a few spares just in case I lose one.

It's a work phone. I sometimes get on long calls that require a headset and continuous charging, since the phone won't last through a long work issue.
Someone told me today those $5 chargers don't last very long and also damage your phone.

Most cars don't have a 110V outlet such as you would find in a house or at work.

Now you're having to gather crap up and carry it around and then make sure you don't leave it.

Is there anyone on here who has three chargers?
Not me but seems like everyone with an iPhone does.

The solution is to get a phone that has a decent battery. Then, if you are using it that much, try looking up, there is so much more going on than what you can see on that tiny screen.

Well you charge it at home like I do when getting ready for work so it can be at 100% and then once you arrive at work you may not have to charge it until 12pm.

39 posts on a subject that doesn't deserve even one. Unbelievable.

You asked how many we have and I answered exactly that and it means we need the amount of chargers that we have otherwise we would not have the number that we do.

I'm not sure why you are so confused by this.

I need to ask though, did you get permission from your employer to use their electricity to charge your personal phone?
