lost phones

I was talking to a mate of mine the other day and he was talking about how he lost his phone etc.. when he rang it someone answered it and said "you left it on the bus" he also said "I'll leave it with the driver" after going to the Dublin Bus lost and found for a week he figured that the plonker kept the phone for himself, I wasn't suprised, I had lost 3 phones in total and out of the 3 I got 2 back, I had lost the Nokia E51 on the 128 and never got it back, it was a bloody good phone, but the other 2 weren't that crap but ok ones and I managed to get them back,

anyone ever lose phones and ever getting them back

Lost 'em a couple of times and got them back, lost them a couple of times and never saw them again.
Have found a couple and returned them by ringing somebody on the phonebook and meeting up with the owner.

i remember my phone got robbed out of my locker in school before, was majorly pissed off the whole day,

then one of me mates gets on the bus, gives me back the phone, saying he found out by railings, he was gonna keep it himself only he noticed the texts he sent to me when he was rooting through it :pac:

Found or stole in order to meet up with the owner?

Lost my first ever one, the Motorolla Startac when I was about 15. I'm pretty sure my "friend" found it pretty soon after I dropped it. Never saw it again.

I've never lost a phone or wallet, anything like that.
I do lose various items of clothing when out on the beer tho?

Shanotheslayer · 01-07-2010 01:40PM

Lost my Phone before. Left it on a bus. Was 16 at the time. A few days later I meet him with 2 mates and they intoduce me to these 3 girls. 3 crackers :pac:

And they give me back my phone. T'was delighted. When they were looking through my phonebook they knew somebody that I did and rang him, yada yada yada, met up and got it back.

And no, I failed at getting one of there numbers

Nice ;D

always losing phones and wallets myself so anytime i find a wallet or phone i always try my hardest to get it back to the original owner. So far i think i've got 2 wallets a paypacket and maybe 4 or 5 phones back to the owners.

If the phones are off or simlocked i'll put in my own sim to try and find messages or numbers anywhere on it to try and get it back. I Did have one phone (old nokia 3320 or something) that i couldn't get back to owner so i dropped it into one of them children charity boxes at work

I'm constantly losing phones, I'd say I've lost about 7 or 8 at this stage, and out of those got 2 back.

GavRedKing · 01-07-2010 01:48PM

Never lost one, but I have gone through about 3 at this stage by breaking them.

skywalker_208 · 01-07-2010 01:59PM

left my phone (couple years old but had contacts and photos on it) in a taxi when on holidays recently. Security guard at hotel and taxi driver were great in arranging to get it back to me. I am a bit more careful with it now

I've never understood how this can happen....do you use your phone while you are relieving yourself

"Kiera what's that noise"

...."umm the shower...I'll call you back" :pac:

Nah the first time in was in my back pocket and fell into it when i pulled my jeans down. Other 2 times was when i put my open bag at the back of the toilet instead of the floor and it fell on to its side and everything went into the toilet.

All 3 times, the toilet had not been used first.

I gave some guy his phone back last weekend and got a free bottle of wine for doing nothing more than answering a phone. Good Karma is Good!

I havent lost my phone in over six years I went through a stage of losing so many phones in one year i remember losing 9, 3 of those were work phones after the third they said I couldnt have any more.

Then I went on the bill for myself got insurance and havent lost a phone since! Stupid insurance your only useful if i lose my phone:mad:

Never lost a phone but had one robbed on me. Found some guys phone too at the european cross country championships that were on here last year. It was a nightmare trying to find him to give it back but eventually found him and returned it.

If it rang would you answer and have a conversation with someone??

I know people who answer their phones when i rang them and said "Il call you back as im on the loo"..... Then Id go wash my hands!!

I've really bad luck with phones,dropped 2 in the toilet,jumped in a lake with one in my pocket,forgot one at the bus stop,lost one when I was camping,I think I either threw it in the fire or buried it,never saw it again though.:pac:

Forgot mine in a toy shop a few weeks back,was the only one I ever got back.
I think it was because since I've fcuked up every phone I've had,I bought a big old brick phone,won't miss it and no one will nick it!

Mint Sauce · 01-07-2010 02:15PM

left my phone in one or two taxis, a bus, and shop counters before, always got them back.
