Upon our return we were surprised that it had still not been repaired and she was without her phone for almost another week. After a week of having the phone back it is still faulty. I contacted Nokia directly who informed me that the phone was never sent in to them to begin with. The store manager at Altech Autopage Cellular had lied and only when I confronted him did he admit that one of their technicians had tried to repair it.

The phone has again been sent in for repairs almost a week ago and to date we have not heard from anyone.
