Cell phone problems

[shocky123]

I have a Kyocera Phantom cell phone (it was free, and I'm in college, no need to be fancy yet).... and I spent the last week in Seattle ( far from home.. (iowa) ) and everything worked up there, I had great recpetion and such.. however, on the last day I was there (thursday) I noticed my phone charger no longer was charging my cell phone. It was acting like I had not even plugged in my charger......
So when I got home(friday), I figured my charger had gone bad, which is no big deal, and easy to replace, ... I tried using my brother's charger (same phone/model as mine) and it didnt work or do anything differently.

Now today, my brother informs me that his phone is now doing the same thing.
Same problems as mine now...

Anybody heard of anything like this before?
--I was under the impression that the power was sorta one-way into the phone/battery, and didnt do much in terms of current back into the charger.---

So anybody have any ideas?? (I'm going to contact the company and see why two identical phones purchased on the same day would exhibit these problems within days of each other's failures, and I'll post what (likely bullsh**) information I get about it.

(oh yeah, I didnt google this yet.. )
I'll provide more info on cell phone model etc once I get out to my car and reassemble it.

Thanks,

~Kyle

The last time I had problems like that was with my Kyocera phone earlier this year. They did a Battery recall and everything is fine...Good Luck
