Well I misplaced mine a few months ago...... couldn't find it anywhere and thought it got thrown out by mistake during the big office remodel at work.
So I went withoout a phone for about a month. I finally broke down and bought a new one because the wife was after me to get another one. Two days after I bought the new one, the old one re-appeared!
-
I've done this a couple of times, although not recently. Several of my close relatives have done it, too. In fact, I think I was originally the one who suggested it to my mom.
-
i do it all the time.
Sometimes I will have the phone right there in front of me. No one calls me all day so I call it to make sure it still has a connection. LOL
-
More than once, and I can say from experience, wait until late when everything is quiet if you left it on vibrate, that's really hard to find. >:(
-
All the time, usually it's in my pocket but i keep so much stuff from work in there that i can hardly feel it. It's real funny especially if you have other people looking for it with you. ;)
-
A better question might be, is there anyone who hasn't done this?
-
Hey Razor, I have never done it but I do have a funny story. Years ago there were a bunch of guys renting across the street from us. So one night around midnight someone is pounding on a door that we never use. I finally got up and went to the door. I was one of the guys across the street, TOTALLY wasted asking me if I could call their house so they could find their cell phone!!
I tried telling him that he was just too drunk, go home and go to bed and worry about your phone in the morning! He wouldn't listen so I dialed the number and his girl friend answered and thank me and appologized for her boyfriend bothering us!

I like it when i put it in my front pocket with it on vibrate and email everyone to call me and i dont answer it ..lol

Ya know, I think you're right Razor!
-
I've done it once or twice.
-
yes...an old trick we use around our household often!
-
Well, I haven't called mine cause I misplaced it, but I have called it before just so people can listen to my voice mail message. Everyone laughs when they hear it....

Never done it with the cell. I HAVE called the landline a few times to leave messages so I wouldn't forget something though.

Of course I've done it. What gets me worried are the times I call and can't hear it. Usually that happens when my wife loses her phone. It ends up being in her car. Or on the ground in the front yard.
I dropped my phone in a parking lot once. Someone found it (actually his kids). He went through the address book and called my house, which I had as "Center Street." That's what my roommates called our place we lived in while in college. I'm glad he figured that one out. So now I always have an entry called "Home."
I heard the new iPhones have a lost phone feature. You can send a message to it that makes it ring and displays a message saying "This phone is lost, please hold onto it and call xxx." You can also look up the phone's location on the internet through its GPS. And if it's stolen or lost for good, you can backup your data and wipe out its memory remotely.
I wouldn't mind having an iPhone, but I will not pay an extra $30 a month for the service.

we do that at least once a week here at the homestead. someone is always misplacing a phone.
-
Yep, I've done that too.
