My son lost his cell phone

This is all quite a regular thing that happens and enough technology hasnt been made to improve tracking mobiles when they are lost or stolen my sons are always losing mobile luckily once we did get it returned as someone was truthful enough to make contact and return the phone.I hope you are sucessful in getting this sorted and for furture reference you can get a sim reader for between 3 and 5 dollar which keeps a memory of what you have on your sim incase it is lost at least that will mean you have numbers etc.

I am so sorry to hear that your son lost his cell phone. I haven't lost one but I have messed a couple up real bad. I dropped one in the toilet one time and had to go have it replaced. However, I lost all of my information that was on it and it couldn't be recovered. I do not know what I would do now if I lost my cell phone, it is such a part of our lives!

hi kal, informations stored in the cellphone seems to be the most important thing when one loses his cellphone. it is always best to have a back up, either you have a notebook for the numbers stored thereat or a list in the computer. your son did the right thing by complaining with the authorities. have a nice day. ann

hi aunty...i am akash..from nanded ,maharashtra...i am 19 now and i have been using cell phones from last 3 years and i never lost my cell phone....your son can get his mobile back even if sim is not inserted in it..if he know the IM number of the handset he was using then he can get his mobile back even the sim card is removed from it.....if he dont have that number of the handset then he cant get it back..... i have already saved all the IM numbers of all the handsets existing in m home... you can get your handsets IM number by dialing *hash 06 hash ....after dialing this u will immediately get your handsets number and if it will be lost in future then there are some chances of getting it back... happy mylotting

I had also lost my two cell phones. To get a new sim of same number 1) Register a FIR in your nearby police station 2) Take the original copy to the customer center 3) write a letter to them about lost SIM and give it to them with the FIR and a copy of ID proof 4) They will provide you with a new SIM of same number and with the balance in it There are 0% chances of recovering your cell phone

I'm feeling very sorry for your son, Black berry is too expensive. I lost one, but it's only a 2nd hand phone so i'm not that very worried at all, but if I lost such as your sons Black Berry, my goodness.I may have an heart attack.

I feel really sorry to know that your lost his Cell phone today, that is on the day of Sankranti. I can understand the sad feeling of loosing a precious gift from a loving father.Well forget about it as it is simply impossible to get the phone back as the person who found it already changed the SIM card which indicates that he is not in a mood to return the phone. Though I have never lost any phone so far my son who is about 24 years now lost at least 2 to 3 cell pones so far.I think to get the same number from the company, FIR would be the best thing to get and submit the same to the company to get the duplicate number.But getting a FIR is not again an easy task.I am living in the NCR Delhi here by submitting an affidavit about the lost phone we are in a position to get the duplicate number from the company. I think best thing would be to contact the Service Centre of the SIM card company to get proper details about the procedure which may vary from place to place! Wish you all the best! Thanks !

hi kalyni my son is now51 and he has lost three cell phones, and I kept'telling him do not take your cellphpme out and just lay it dpown in a cafe. when you are done stick it back in its zipped compartment in your back pack. He did report them and went to the police and did the paper work with the sims, but although whoever' got them cannot use them, he sure never got even one back. Now he is a lot more careful.Yes the numbers he had saved were painful 'too.I have yet to get one although my son insists it would be a safety thing in case I was away from here and needed help. but the plans all seem so expensive to me.But I saw first hand once how nice it would be to own a cell phone. we had gone shopping in the G old Crest'van and the driver said he would be back at a certain time to take us back home. the time came and went so an hour later my friend florence asked if I had the phone number for Gold Crest, which I luckily'did have. So she whipped out her cellphone and called Gold Crest. We found out the driver had taken this really ditzy resident to her bank and she had taken an hour to get her business done.So we did get picked up finally.

Hi, Kalyani.:) Sorry to hear about what happened to your son. I once lost my very first cellphone.It was snatched from me! I gave a good fight of tag and war because I thought it was one of my friend's prank joke. But when one of the guys whispered to me to let go or something bad might happen to me, I let go.I was so scared of my dear life that I gave it to the snatcher after realizing that they weren't joking. I went to the police station but I was so scared I can no longer recall the faces of the criminals when the officer showed pictures of possible snatchers. I did not get it back, worse, the snatchers are on the loose. You can request the network provider of the same number. Only, you have to pay for a higher price than getting a new sim. I hope things are all well in your family despite of what happened...

You should install an application that could detect the cellphone whenever or wherever it is. I hope there's a program like that. I hope someone could make something like that to help us all when we lost our phones.

I've never lost my phone anywhere except in my own house or in my truck. We've always been able to call it and find it from the ringing. That must be an awful feeling, I'm sorry for him. You're right about not remembering the numbers. I would be lost if I had to try to remember all those names and numbers. Luckily, most of the numbers in my phone are also in my daughters phone. And I have a list of all the names and numbers somewhere in my desk. Maybe you can encourage your son to also make a list, so if he should need it in the future he will have a back up and save a lot of stress. Luckily for you, someone in an above response has found the solution for you to deal with the loss of sim card and the same number. Tell him to cheer up... it is not as bad as it may seem. Just an inconvenience.

I've also been lost my cell phone. what a pity! at first, i'm not used to it and i went to the police station .But actually just like what you said ,the chance of getting back is zero. But we have to try,at least there is nothing to regret. little hope is better than no hope. it is true that your numbers has been lost, but there is nothing we could do about this and you can go to the local hall to tell them your situation. and then ,you can still keep your original phone number. Take care.
