By the time we realized it was missing, it went straight to voicemail because the charge was gone. <br /><br />I will definitely keep an eye on CL ads. I don't need anything fancy. Thanks for the advice!Abigailhttp://ipickuppennies.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3851322133816062332.post-29003757383635077222009-12-10T13:00:21.197-08:002009-12-10T13:00:21.197-08:00Ahh, but the MOST affordable way to lose the phone...Ahh, but the MOST affordable way to lose the phone is this:<br /><br />Don't cancel your line, just call and inform the company that you've lost your phone. They'll put a hold on all calls so you don't have to pay for anything. Then if you find it under the couch or something, you don't have to pay for a new SIM card. Just reactivate.<br /><br />Also, have you tried calling your phone and listening for it anywhere? (assuming it's still on).<br /><br />And finally, whenever someone in my family loses their phone, we just buy one from someone on Craigslist. As long as you meet in person and ensure that the phone works, you can get some amazing deals. Everyone wants to get a new Blackberry or iPhone, so they have their regular cell phones to get rid of. This is where you get the deals!<br /><br />I haven't had a bad experience yet and I've had to do this several times in the past 2 years...<br /><br />Give it a shot!Gingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13902607052673904892noreply@blogger.com
