Advice for Buni or anyone else in this situation: check that phone cord is plugged in fully and correctly at both ends. Then check that the outlet works, (is energized,) by plugging a known-working device that requires at least the same amount of power into the outlet. A floor lamp usually works well for this and are usually pretty easy to find. If the outlet is confirmed good, check phone again and wiggle plug to ensure the problem isn’t with the connection between the outlet and the prongs of the charger/transformer. If all those checks are done and phone still does not begin charging, check to see if you’re in a strange universe where inanimate objects take on anthropomorphic traits while surreal events routinely occur around them, as this is often an indication that you are a character in a web-comic. If you are… and may the author have mercy upon you, no piece of general advice is likely to be useful here, apart from, “try to be funny or at least interesting.” If not… the next step is to find a different, but still compatible charger or cable, or try a different outlet, and replace each component to establish which component (or components) failed. Sometimes everything can be working normally but a particular outlet just won’t work with a particular charger, usually due to age causing fatiguing of metal contacts inside the outlet, or corrosion on the surfaces. An outlet can seem to work when a device with a large amperage requirement is connected but smaller loads won’t due to high electrical resistance due to corrosion or poor mechanical coupling between outlet and prongs of device. Consider the possibility that something is wrong with the phone or its battery. In the event that the phone and battery are okay, replacement of the outlet may be indicated. Contact a qualified electrician if you’re not able to do this safely yourself. To replace an outlet, the first step is to de-energize the outlet at the circuit breaker, and verify that the outlet needing replacement has no electrical power…

Shhh bby. Good night.
I really like Old Mallard’s comment.
