robotech_masterI have developed a flawless technique for finding lost cellphones.
That method is to call the company and report it missing. You'll find it as soon as you hang up.
Seriously. I'd tried everything to find it—including borrowing a neighbor's phone and turning the lights off in here to see if I could detect it by the flickering light when it rang—and then nothing. I was starting to believe it could have been anywhere, so when a friend suggested I'd better call and report it missing, I did so. I was even ready to place an order for a $25 Nokia 3595 web-enabled phone and switch over to GSM service.
And then, as I went to the door to hand back the phone I'd borrowed from the neighbor, I happened to glance down, and there it was, sitting on top of the pet carrier next to my door. So I had to call again and get it turned back on.
I suppose that, in a few weeks, I probably will go ahead and make that upgrade anyway—it's certainly a better phone than this old one in every respect—but for now, money's tight and I want to make sure I can make ends meet first.
