So I don't know if this is true or not but according to a co-worker, his electric bill went up quite a bit since owning the Thunderbolt...

Has anybody's electric bill gone up? He said it drains even while plugged in overnight so it is constantly using electric.
 
Do you two have any input on this? Can you confirm/deny it?

Whether this phone is charging or in a holding state at the peak of the charge it will always use electricity if it is plugged in as with all electronics that are plugged in. I highly doubt that his phone caused a spike in his electricity bill. Actually i am positive this is untrue.

Since the phone uses about 50 cents worth of electric a month I hardly think anyone could possibly notice.

My bill got super jacked up but it could be that we are having to run the AC more and more really don't think it is from the phone
 
My water bill went up because I wash my hands more often because I'm anal about getting the back cover of my phone dirty.....

best post of the day!! I'm gonna buy stock in the utility company since Thunderbolts are continuing to sell!
 
I have noticed the while using my phone in the car that my gas mileage has gotten worse. Also, since I've owned the T-Bolt, I have gained 50 pounds, my dog ran away, my neighbor's house burned down, and I can no longer play the piano. On a positive note, it also prevented the rapture!
 
My power bill has also gone up since I got my Bolt...then again, at the same time I bought a new 150 watt light for my uh....medicine cabinet...lol.

Being 100% serious, I did the same thing and it was a life saver. I was always taking the wrong medications when I reached into the cabinet blind. I would take my bipolar pills then other times I would have too many anxiety pills.

Ermmm...not that kinda medicine cabinet...XD lol. Prop 215/SB 420...lol.
 
I had to check... nope, my bill has stayed about the same.
It's actually like $2 cheaper this month.

It's the thunderbolt man! it's feeding power back into the grid from those lightning bolts I tell ya! :D
