I have the Samsung intercept too, but luckily I have a insurance on it. I took into the sprint store, and they gave me a new one for free. But until i got the new one, I just had to suck it up and deal with it. And believe me, I know how you feel. But next time you get a phone, ask around. Make sure its a good phone and that it doest freeze. Because I have gotten this phone 5 times, until I got one that didn't freeze anymore. I know this really isn't helping you right now.
