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 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.
