Oops! Sorry to hear that Bruce. That advice is not unusual and would have been forthcoming had you had posted on here for advice. The only thing I didn't know was whether it applied to other mobile phones as I have only ever used iPhones. Mine is four or five years' old now so that's how long that advice has been known personally.
I guess that at least, if nothing else, you can get your Contacts from that phone, many of us don't keep backups of our's and would be lost without them. That reminds me, must check to see if my Contacts are backed-up on iCloud, perhaps they are? Maybe you could sell that phone on as it's now working?
