What will you do, if you happen to have your friend's cellphone?

You keeping that phone is theft! Thous shall not steal friend and all thieves will have their part in the lake of fire. You need to turn from your life of selfish sin unto the life of turh in Christ Jesus friend! How could you even question if you should be honest? Here is a question for you how would YOU feel if your friend didn't tell YOU about them having YOUR phone? How would YOU feel if they didn't contact YOU and just used YOUR phone dishonestly?

If I happen to have my friend's cellphone, even it is just for a few moment, then it means a time to do "bad" and "naughty" stuff. LoL :p It is like a tradition between me and my friends, that we should keep our cell phone safe from each other hands. If not, then a stupid and meaningless message will be sent to random name from address book. Or, if in case the owner is still logged in on facebook or friendster, then it means a random stupid and meaningless status will be updated :) But that's only between me and my close friends (football friends). If it happened to other friends, I will try to notify him, maybe via his/her friends if he/she can not be reached. If that still can't be done then I will take it to his/her place (maybe!). If that still can't be done, then I will keep it safely.

I would not go through my friends' phone if I were to have it by accident. I'd just keep it and try to contact him/her through other means (email or home phone) that I do have their missing phone.

Hi dear! It is purely a hypothetical situation which is unlikely to take place in real life because if any of my frineds start searching for his lost phone he will immediately contact me to know whereabouts of his cell phone. Those who are habitual of cell phones cannot be whithout it for a long time. Till he contacts me I'll keep his phone safely and won't search his contacts/messages.

remember one thing my friend, what ever you do to others, one day that same thing happens to you as well. This universe is like a mirror. It reflects everything. Sometimes immediately sometimes later. So if you kinda check out your friends messages then be careful one day the same might happen to you. someone else might check your messages someday.

I will just safekeep the phone and hand it over to him/her. I will respect his/her right to privacy of correspondence/communication. I also believe in karma, so whatever things you don't want others to do to you, don't do it to them. I do the same thing to my boyfriends, I don't invade their privacy but If they still cheat on me, I leave it all up to their conscience.

I would just keep the cell phone until I see them again. I won't go through their phone trying to be nosy. If I do this, then I am being totally disloyal to my friend.

i would just give it back to them. at the end of the day, i would expect my friends to respect my privacy and in return i respect theirs/

I wouldn't go through her phone and would return it to her as soon as possible.

I'd give it back when I see them, other people's lives don't really interest me that much. I jokingly go through my boyfriend's phone all the time but I'm like the only person who ever texts him so it's really not that interesting.

I have never thought of that kind of situation, but looks interesting. Curiosity is very strong, but maybe not knowing anything about my friend might make me worried enough for not to care about the phone content. If my friend was on reach but just told me "I'm sorry, now I'm busy but I'll go next week to pick up my phone" I might take a little peek

i would probably check his friends contact number just to update my own. after that i would make arrangement to give back his hand phone after all the hand phone is one of the closest thing to a person.

If i can't find my cellphone, the first thing i will do is dialing my number to see where it is.So do my friends.if he/she is in hurry to use his/her cellphone, he/she must dailing ... so if i happen to have my friends'cellphone,and i can't contact with them by other way, i will just wait for their call.And respect their privacy.

I would prefer to keep my friends phone aside and not touch it until i meet him. I really don't like to read others personal stuffs like messages and check out their inbox, photos and contact numbers. Its a bad thought if you do so. but for some people it may be thrilling. Once i left my phone in my friend place and i went back the next day to get it. He, meanwhile, saw all my personal messages and photos which i personally didn't like. If i was him i would have definitely not done that.

I would get my friends' phone for safekeeping. If I have a way to contact him/her through landline or maybe I know where he/she is residing then Ill just drop off his/her cellphone at their house. If I didnt know either of those, then Im sure I would be able to see him/her in school. Maybe we might have some classes together. So for the meantime, I would keep the phone at home in a safe place, then Ill bring it to our common class, then give it to him/her there. I wouldnt check messages and I wouldnt even open the phone when its in my possession. Ill just turn it off and keep it somewhere that I wouldnt be able to see it so I wouldnt be tempted to browse through it. I highly value my privacy so I also value other people's privacy.^_^

I think it's not good to check the messages in my friend's mobile phone. We must respect our friend, don`t we?

I would check the contact that he recently contact. If I found his family contact, then i would contact his family 1st. Or, I will contact his colleague, course mate or any related person so to inform him that his phone with me. Due to privacy, I definitely will not check the message in his phone till I handover to him. If I'm the one who lost the phone I would not allow my friends check my messages in my mobile.

I'd just hold on to their phone until I saw them again. The only exception that I would make to this is if someone was to call their phone that I know that they talk to on a regular basis then I would answer the phone and let that person know that I had their phone. My sister-in-law had something similar to this happen to her recently and the only way that we are able to find her phone was the fact that I called it and found out where it had been left.

I will wait until such day we will see each other again, the I will return his/her. I value my friends and I wanna make them happy..Anyway, cellphone for me is not that important at all..Our friendship is the most important...

If I was you I would keep the phone till I see my friend again.I would not go through his/her phone because that would make me a bad or a not trustworty friend.Also the next day I would find my friend and say 'hey I found your phone'. They would thank me for finding their very important cell phone.
