Welcome back 🙂

I'm sorry to hear that you had an incident with your mobile phone.

People often boast that they don't carry wallets and cash, but only their phone.
it can be especially dangerous abroad, relying entirely on mobile.
You don't have to break it, it can simply crack, most often the motherboard and you will be left without the ability to pay somewhere outside your country.

I always have two mobile phones with me (requirement of the work I do), with numbers from different operators, the same Google Account has been set up on both phones, so I have two worries.
And besides the cards I carry with me, I always have some cash, for situations when that's the only way to pay.

You damaged the screen with a gun, but the phone still works, turns on, can receive calls?

The phone actually rings but I can't receive the calls because the touch screen doesn't work anymore.

I feel your pain with two phones. You have double the risk of such things happening...

You are right 🙂
But my risk of losing my phone is reduced, unless I drop both at the same time 🤣

That's why I asked you, did you have the option of replacing the damaged screen somewhere? If it's expensive and not worth it (what model is the question), in some service they can always save your data, pictures and video clips from your vacation, which you probably didn't download from your phone.

In Switzerland such repairs are often very expensive and since my phone was pretty old already, I didn't feel like investing in a repair. For the photos, I don't have that many actually. In the family, I'm not the photo taker fortunately :-)

The wisest thing is to let someone younger, whose hands don't shake, take photos, the picture is more stable, the phone won't fall out and break :-) but your phone was damaged at work, so that doesn't count 😀
