For the last two weeks I haven't been able to find my mobile phone. I have got my phone charger though. Have you ever lost your phone? If so did you get it back or did you have to purchase a replacement?

It's good that the cab driver returned it - such a good soul. I think it's rare of people to return a mobile phone to its owner when it's found.

I lost my phone on the bus one time coming home from work. I tried calling it to see if maybe I left it at work, but sadly, I didn't. I called Metro to see if anybody turned it in, but sadly, they didn't. I checked the activity and saw someone made a couple calls with it, though. *sigh* It's just a guess, but I think the battery might have run out and they probably chucked it. I ended up having to buy a new one, but at least what funds were left were transferred over. I ended up losing my phone on the bus AGAIN, but this time, I was fortunate. Someone turned it in the last time and boy, was I lucky, huh? They didn't even use it! I've been trying to be more careful with my phone now. I don't want to lose it yet again!

I am a careful person and I have not lost my mobile phones before. But my husband and my mom ever lost their mobile phones. I think it won't be the last time anyway. Sometimes I think they are not as careful as me. Especially my husband, he is forgetful and I am like a reminder to him. I love China

I will surely assist what you need... As fast as I can! Have a nice day friend.....

Once I lost it and once it was stolen. Both times getting a new one was no fun and my mother whos name the accounts under, was not a happy person. I have learned my lesson and now keep a close eye on my phone.

No. But I'd like to. I only use my mobile to make calls in emergency situations, like when my wife and I get seperated in the supermarket, I ring to find whet section she's in. I don't carry mine all the time.

Yes, I have. The first time that I lost a phone was in 2003 while at a vacation. One of my bags were stolen and my phone was there. I immediately bought a new one when I got back home. The second time I lost a phone was just this month, last August 07. This time, I was at the comforts of my own home, sleeping when our house was robbed. I have not bought a new phone yet. I'm a little traumatized thinking that if I get a new one, it might just be robbed. I'm using the spare phone that my boyfriend and I bought just in case one of us loses our phones, there's something that we can use.

Maxima, so sorry to hear about that! Hope you will be able to find back your cell phone soon. As for me, I lost my cell phone once. That happened when some one stolen my handbag with all my important stuff in it! I was just unlucky, my cell phone is gone too. I was so sad a bit that because that cell phone is very new, I used it less than 1 month and it was my birthday present too. After than incident, I have to carry back my old cellphone till now!

Hi there, well i dont experience losing my phone but I experienced losing my money. Before when i was still working my money was lost inside the working place. A regular customer was the one who got my money to cut the story short we knew that she was the one who get my money and she bought a brand new cellphone because of my money. What i did is that i get the cellphone to her anyway hope i can make sense here heheh, just to share my experienced losing money, keep on mylotting

I almost lost mine once, but I did get it back the same day. What had happenened was, I had dropped it in the Walmart parking lot and I didn't even know it. My daughter was with me at the time, and the lady that has found it in the parking lot, called my daughter's cell phone, using my phone. My daughter thought it was strange that my number came up in her phone, but she soon found out that I had dropped, and she wanted to know if I was the one that had dropped it. My daughter asked me if Ihad my phone, and I looked in my purse and I didn't so we knew it was my phone. My daughter then met the lady out in the parking lot and got my phone back for me. I needed it too, as it is the only phone I use as I don't have a landline. I was sure happy I got my phone back. Now I am careful not to lose it as I make sure it is in the zipper part of purse so it doesn't fall out. Now, I have a new phone, and I sure wouldn't want to lose it, that is for sure. Take care, and happy mylotting.
