johnny_h Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 Lost my tinternet phone tonight and I know someone has found it coz when I last used it, it was fully charged. When I tried to call it, it went straight to answerphone which means it's either been switched off or (more likely) the the sims been removed. Got me thinking what would I do if it was me that found it... What would you do?
flyingbanana Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 i take it you arnt on a contract then...i thought they could disable the phones has well these days
johnny_h Posted October 27, 2006 Author Report Posted October 27, 2006 i take it you arnt on a contract then...i thought they could disable the phones has well these days Well I was not gonna mention that until I got a few replies. It was a contract jobbie, Insured too. I called T-Mobile and they instantly blacklisted the phone which means the handset can't be used no matter what sim card you use. Try calling it and see what happens 07930231976 The new owner is holding a brick basically.
RFChris Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 I'd let the network know. Phones nowadays are only any use to the person who has the contract as the new stuff can be blocked totally. NB......yea, were it an older phone i'd still do the same. Honest guv. Chris
BaileyMex Posted October 27, 2006 Report Posted October 27, 2006 The new owner is holding a brick basically. Ummm dont be too sure I think I know someone who knows someone who can still unlock blacklisted phones
Messenjah Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 i found a fone in ther bar the othe rnight happened to have a charger that woked so kept it charging overnight when i got hom and rang the number in it stored as home turns out they only lived down the road they came up to get it and gave me £20 for returning it
mk1mexico Posted October 28, 2006 Report Posted October 28, 2006 i lost mine at CF show this year still never heard anything. Might explain why a picture of my ex girlfriends breasts appeared in NUTS magazine though.
Guest Den. Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 No offense to you but since here in Canada so many bad drivers have phones attached to their heads..... To be honest if I saw a lost cellphone I would stomp it into little pieces figuring the roads would be safer. Hopefully the banning of them whilst driving will soon actually happen! So far I just use my mainbeams and otherwise harrass them. Though it's already illegal to drive with one there, isn't it? Lucky buggers! How bad is it here? This from my own site (So I don't have to write it out is a TRUE story from last year. THIS is normal here! http://s15.invisionfree.com/Anarkist_Ga ... owtopic=67 Like I said. No offense to yourself. We just have a "history" here and I would react accordingly!
Burns Posted October 30, 2006 Report Posted October 30, 2006 it's already illegal here but that don't stop some people personally i'd phone 'mum' or 'home' and let them have it back
johnny_h Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Posted October 30, 2006 The irony is that i hardly used the phone to make calls. It was my camera for my car restoration pictures. It was my walkman for listening to mp3's. It was also my mobile internet access. Alarm clock, etc etc...
Guest Den. Posted November 11, 2006 Report Posted November 11, 2006 That's why it gone. Because YOU are one of the responsible ones out there. Any luck getting it back yet?
johnny_h Posted November 12, 2006 Author Report Posted November 12, 2006 Nope, It's not turned up. Lost all me flippin numbers grrrrrrrrrr.
Guest V6MAT Posted November 12, 2006 Report Posted November 12, 2006 Nope, It's not turned up. Lost all me flippin numbers grrrrrrrrrr. get another sim with the smae number and you shouldn have your numbers if they were saved to the sim

I think I'd want to "stomp" on anyone I found "stomping" on something that didn't belong to them!

I hope it's right and \I saved the numbers to sim.

viv-ashton Posted November 13, 2006 Report Posted November 13, 2006 Sorry to say but... having worked for a mobile phone company, u can get a new sim card on the same number but your numbers wont be stored on the new sim card. Each sim card has a unique 14 digit number, when you report your phone lost or stolen they block the sim number attached to your mobile number making it useless. They will then issue you a new sim card and connect your mobile number to the number on the sim card. The new sim card will arrive to you blank, you will have to re-store all your contacts in yourself.
