I've had two phones exactly like that, end up looking just the same way! that story is too cute!

how are the phones broken? can you just open the lid and get them?

Bugaroo88 : That's not “phones” but A phone, in two pieces. The phone should still be functional once it's put back together, but any pictures and contacts would be lost.

Wow you actually speak like that to your 15 month old?

That's mild. I've heard much worse. Don't nitpick a harried mother.

That is actually one phone broken into two pieces at the hinge

Oh, geez… I feel for ya. Last New Year's Eve I caught my daughter sitting down, dunking my cell in the dog's water. Now she's obsessed with her Buzz Lightyear. I can only imagine the ideas this pic would give her!

Ouch! Feel your pain on that one, with a ton of kids, many a phone has seen an early grave. The have been lost, driven over, hidden under mattresses, flushed, washed, you name it, they've done it.

At the side of this page says:

“The only unwelcome visitors are those who are here to be mean or judgmental or offer a parenting critique. This is not the place for you.”

How else was he supposed to make it fit?

Buzz needed to make a phone call. It was of Galactic importance

actually, even if the phone is broken in two, as long as it turns on and the charging port is not damaged you can extract contacts… and pictures

I second what Bethann85 said. The AT&T person just didn't feel like going to the effort. I've gone so far as to make one complete phone out of several broken ones and found the memory from the phone that donated the main board was still intact! and yes, I'm pretty sure from the pic they were from that model phone. If you still have the phone pieces, it might be worth a try to take it to someone who is COMPETENT and have them retrieve at least the photos.
