He had it yesterday when we went to the Farmer's Market, then I tried to call it last night when I was going to be late getting home from somewhere, there was a click and the a hang up. Called back, battery was dead. Looked for it this morning, could not find it. And with a dead battery, there is no way to call it and look for it. We've looked everywhere in the house for it, and can't find it. AARRGGHH!!! Thanks for listening. Fortunately for us it was not a very expensive one, so we will likely be able to replace it.

I remember when I was in college and I lost my brand new phone, it was a gift from my sister and was stolen from me at our boutique. I was heartbroken then because of what happened because I really love that phone and my sister really got mad at me because of that. Well just think that at least it's only the phone that was lots and not your hubby. lol.

Loosing a Cellphone can be quite frustrating for sure. Did you ever find it, or did you have to get a New one. I have actually been Lucky as the few times I have left mine behind at work I realized it right away and went right back to get it. It would be quite frustrating to loose mine for sure, but at least I have Insurance that would help get another one like it.

Maybe it fell out at the Farmer's Market, or on his way home. I hate it when things like that happen, I can feel your pain. As soon as you replace it it will be found, I can almost guarantee it.

so someone answered it and hung up on you? If so, I hope you reported it just in case so no minutes and such get added to your bill. Someone stole Steve's off the seat of the car when he went in to pay for gas. He missed it right away so it didn't do them any good. He replaced it with a Blackberry. My phone is just a simple one, but if we can get a budget going well I hope to get a better one...smart phone so I can get online. Marsha

Oh no! I hope you either find it or get it back! I try to keep mine on me...and not in a pocket it can easily fall out of i'd hate to have to replace it! My sister dropped her ipod on the beach last week...amazingly enough when they posted a poster at the showerhouse...some nice person had found it and returned it on seeing the poster!

I'm glad it wasn't too much. It would be even more maddening if it had been super nice. I know a guy who lost his cell phone, so he called his number using his house phone. Someone picked up and the guy said, I want my phone back. And the person who had it said, sorry but there is no way you're getting it.

I am so sorry to hear that. I sure hope that you all find it soon. I would hate to lose my phone and all of my contact numbers in it. I would not want someone else to have it.

Well the other day we went to this oriental restaurant and I lost my cell phone too. Well, I call from my house to see if someone would answer the phone and someone did ,so I told the waitress to keep my cell phone with her until I could pick it up. I guess I got lucky since I still had battery left.

you really have not found the phone till now? so you already have found a new one? something related to what my wife's phone happened a long time ago. she and her sister took a cab one day to get to her sister's place. the next day, my wife asked me about the whereabouts of her phone. i told her, she brought it with her when she visited her sister's place that night. and so she remembered, she might left it in the cab. we called the number but never got through. so we presumed it was really gone. so we just got a replacement.

That's certainly a pain. I wouldn't even have a cell phone, but the boyfriend and I do a lot of driving (and in a car that needs repairs *Sigh*). I'm so over the entire cell phone thing. They have just given bad drivers a way to make their driving even worse, likely increase our risk of brain tumors, are a new way to drain our bank accounts... I'm not a Luddite, but I'm also not exactly enamored of the seemingly never ending stream of shiny, expensive (both financially and in terms of our natural resources) tech toys. I wouldn't willingly give up my high speed internet, but, beyond that, eh...

Consider it a blessing in disguise. It's probably high time to get a new one. I haven't lost a cellphone my entire life and hopefully not in the future. My husband too. We both like expensive ones so we can't afford to loose it at all.

I have also lost two cellphones in the past. I usually never buy a new one unless I lost it or not working. I never believe in having to buy the latest model or an expensive one as I know I am a careless person.
