Where Did I Put That Darn Cell Phone?

It seems I am always searching for my cell phone in my house. I set it on a table or counter top nearby, then I get up and forget to take it with me. I'm always missing texts or phone calls because of this. I usually end up having my husband call me so I can try to track it down room by room. Well, I now have a remedy for this situation. I found some small over-the-shoulder bags at the Dollar Store that are just the right size for my iPhone. Now I wear my phone around the house. Problem solved.

That's why I need a landline. I call my phone to figure out where I left it. This can take time when the ringer is off. I have to listen for the vibration.

We just gave up our land line and sometimes I regret it.

@Morleyhunt I gave up my landline over a year ago and have never regretted it.

@Dalane I have never regretted giving up my landline phone as I never get those darn solicitors on my cell.

That sounds like an excellent idea. Something I should look into. I am always losing my phone too

@T_gray it would drive me crazy if I had to keep looking for my cell.

I found them at the Dollar Tree and there were several colors/patterns.

I have a place reserved for my cell phone and that is where it is always placed. That way I don't need to search for it.

I don't use my mobile phone at home as we have a landline. It mostly stays in my handbag for when I go out.

I have this issue many times a day. There is actually a website that you can go to and if you enter your phone number, it will send a call or text to your phone. It has come in handy for me many times.

Do you know what the website address is that you can share here or do a post about it? I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.

Leaving your phone at home is still better than leaving it in the mall or supermarket. You may never get it back!

That is a cute idea! I always forget my phone too but then I just use that loud iPhone tracker to locate it around my house.

By wearing your phone you took care of the problem of losing it. Good for you.

good for you, you found a solution. I sometimes have this kind of situation with my smaller phone especially when my son plays with it or after my husband used it.

@Dalane when I had a cell phone I used to have the same problem. I could never find it when I needed it.
