> Borrow someone else's phone to make a call. Carry some amount of cash on you. Okay, so if you were to have your way, the only thing that I'm seeing as anything within a reasonable neighborhood of an answer to "how do I replace my phone?" is to always carry cash on you and always be with someone who has a working phone and either lets you borrow it or can drive (or otherwise cover your transportation costs) to the nearest phone store. That actually seems like an answer. A horrible, horrible answer, but an answer. We're making progress! > You can if there is a computer you can use there or on the way. Most companies allow you to pick up in store. Most companies also don't let you replace your cell phone--or make any significant changes to your account, for that matter--without showing ID. Without your phone, you have no ID. Hence, you're fucked. > Tap to pay NFC tag? "Damn, where did my tag go?
