...Converting from 3.5 to 2.5? I bought the LG Versa phone with Verizon Wireless in March 2009. I bought it mainly because it was a music phone, and I wanted to be able to play my music on it - as I had before with my LG Chocolate 2. But, the headphone jacks are different sizes. The phone size is 2.5mm, and the headphones size is 3.5mm. So, I had bought a converter a long time ago for my Chocolate, and it had worked great. And it did for a little while with my new phone. But, as it was a cheap converter, it died. Now, every STEREO converter that I buy, plays in mono (only in 1 ear), because they aren't formatted for a cell phone.
Anyway, I called Verizon about this, and have talked to 5 different people about it last night. They looked and looked, and basically all of their converters were on clearance and are now not available (which means that they won't get any more). They told me that my only option was a Stereo Bluetooth Headset through them that is $100!! And, they aren't earbuds - it is big and wraps around my head! The rep flatout told me that there is no reason to buy a music phone with a 2.5mm headset jack unless I want to spend another $100 and look like a dork, because I have no way to listen to my music. Is there any way that Verizon could possibly let me get a different phone, since I got the last phone made with a 2.5mm headset jack? All the ones after mine have the standard 3.5mm jack. I told the rep when I bought the phone - that I was buying it for music, and he said that it wouldn't be a problem.
In less than 2 years, I have gone through 8 LG Chocolate 2s, b/c they all had problems, and were still under warranty. Can I use this for my benefit? I spent hours and hours and days upon days with them. And the closest store is 35 minutes away!
Any insight would be great!
I WILL CHOOSE BEST ANSWERS. BE THOROUGH. THE MOST GOOD QUALITY ANSWER WILL RECEIVE THE 5 STAR RATING.
Thank you so much!
