Old Phone is totally gone for good

Mylotter friends, here's an update on my lost cell phone situation. The Uber driver thoroughly searched for my phone in her car--it wasn't there. So it's totally lost and out of battery by now. The last seen location haven't changed much. I have no idea where it could be and where it went on Sunday night. Though I'm still bummed about it, I'm trying to move on. I ordered a new Samsung Galaxy Tracfone yesterday afternoon and used my Paypal money from my Upwork earnings. (This is the second time since I had to do the same to buy a new computer last late fall.) My new phone will be here tomorrow night via UPS. So I hope it's here even earlier when I come home from work to activate it, keep my cell phone, and re-add my contacts and apps tomorrow afternoon, and be able to verify my identity to get back into my Google account. At least I'll be set to use it for going to the zoo on Saturday and work on Monday. Therefore, if I get a break on Saturday afternoon, I'll be able to take new photos since I'll be near the animals if it's not too cold to get out. If not, I'll wait until spring, hopefully next month if I have a weekend off, or aim for evening events to go to after work. I'm going to post my belated January recipe report card on Sunday night before the Super Bowl, and then post my recipe list for February on Monday after work. I haven't started on any new recipes and wanted to wait for my new phone. And I'll do a Week Two at Goodwill report also sometime this weekend as I catch up on the notifications this weekend as well. See you later this weekend.

@KristenH I've had mine several months and I'm still getting used to it, I recently found it counts my steps so I like that.

@KristenH Right it sucks because then you have to learn a new phone all over again

I am so sorry to hear you lost your phone. I would be so bummed too. Is the new phone you bought the same make and model or a newer one?

Thanks Shanny. Both are Samsung Galaxy Smartphones, just different models, which are almost close to each other.

I agree Heather. And I couldn't get a free one from Tracfone. *sigh*

Yep. I had to dip into my Paypal account. I hated starting all over again and again...
