I had taken my charger on a trip where I think I lost it. So, my only means for charging my cell phone was in the car. There were days when the phone would be dead at home. I would have make an excuse to charge the phone, like to run to the store or listen to some music in the driveway. That got old fast.I did a search on Amazon and found this LG VX3200 Home, Travel charger. It is just what I needed to charge my cell phone at home. After I ordered it, it had only been a week before it arrived. Since my cell phone is also my home phone, this charger helps me maintain a working number at all times.For those concerned about their phantom electrical use, It has a green LED to let you know it's still plugged in. I definetly recommend this unit over other units, because it's easy to use, has a green (I'm still plugged in LED), inexpensive, shipping is fast (within a week), it works great, compact size - ease of travel).
