My 4 year old Galaxy S4 Cell had a severely cracked screen for the last 14 months but still worked pretty good until last night while on a job at 10 pm. Well, I had anticipate that it was time to take advantage of our upgrade eligibility through Verizon and so about 4 days ago, I ordered the latest and greatest S7 Edge with case, mount, 64K Ultra Memory card, etc. Guess when it arrived on my doorstep? At 6:18 pm yesterday evening, approx 3 hrs before the S4 slipped out of my hand for the last time, cracking the screen pretty good, and lossing the display completely. Amazing, I could still receive texts and phone calls... but the problem was, I couldn't transfer all the data from my S4 to the new S7 Edge without being able to unlock the S4 with a password... so now, my business phone/text line is down and I was sick for about only a minute because why?... I had a game plan. About 2 weeks ago, I found a very kind Latino man named Miguel from South America who operates "Be In Touch Wireless", and is also a Boost Mobile Dealer in Yonkers, at 600 Tuckahoe Road, Yonkers, NY 10701. I asked for an approximate quote for the repair of the cracked screen, and the approximate time it would take. He quoted me approx $145 plus tax. and that it would take 4 to 5 or so hours to fix. I kept that in mind and knew eventually that I was going to have it repaired, but as long as it was working, I had no rush.
Hence, the game plan... I slept only about 2.5 hours early this morning from 4:30-6:45 or so, and had it in mind to drop my phone off this morning as soon as his place opens @ 10:30 a.m. I used my S Gear watch as a temporary substitute, along with my new auxiliary S7 (not Edge) to get throughout the day, hoping no new Customers calls were missed, etc...
So sure enough, while I'm waiting in my Service Truck from 10:25 a.m., Miguel shows up to opened the Store at 10:43 a.m. What a relief. I practically implored him to do his best to make attempt to repair the S4 the same day, willing to pay any amount with gratuity. .. he got right on the phone located a new screen replacement kit locally, confirmed. .. etc. I prepaid; closed my eyes and hoped for the best, and went on my Service Calls,.. he said it should be ready by 5 or so. Around 3:50 pm, I received a call from Miguel saying that the phone is ready an working fine... no exaggeration, at that time I was in NYC going Eastbound on E 79th Street in route to a job, I was intending on making a left uptown on 3rd Ave.... don't you know I made a left on Lexington Ave against the one way traffic downtown... everybody was like... "What the heck??" lol.
When I picked up my S4, around 5:30 p.m., I was shocked of how it almost looked new again... An unbelievable experience, of how you can turn a bad situation into a positive, if only you don't panic and focus to find a solution. I don't think this would have been possible with an IPhone or any other brand, which is why our entire workforce will be equipped with Samsung Android primarily.... we intend on using Apple Products in due time to have the best of both worlds...
Thank you so, so much Miguel!! You are a perfect example of why foreigners and immigrants from all nations is what makes America as great as it already is. read more
