Lost Phone and dead computer

with 3 comments

I have lost my phone (a black Nokia, on the X32 in Machynlleth / Aberystwyth, in case you are wondering) and as a result had lost just about every number, birthday and everything else - so if you are trying to get hold of me then best use my email or my home number for now. Moral of the story here….. back it up!

In addition to this, I have a dead hard drive in my computer which means I have lost all that too, all my emails, all my web site, all my everything. Moral of the story here….. back it up!

I am told I can get my old number back, ut it is taking Vodafone an age to sort out a new SIM card and contract and whatnot, and that will have a new number, which I will then have to have transfered to the old number…………. boring!

Apparently if i had made a note of the phone’s unique number I could have the phone switched off; as I say, if I had it…… apparently they often then end up in phone repair shops (which there is only one off for about 50 miles) and can find their way back to their owners if the repair shop are on the lookout for it and you can then have it switched back on again……….. but i dont have its unique number.

Also, having been th Machynlleth Rail Station, Machynlleth Police Station and Aberystwyth Police Station- they do have a LOT of unclaimed phones, so if you loose yours then ask about, you may be luckier than me.

  1. Its not always a good idea to lose your phone because its not just the phone that we lose but also we have to live without all the information stored in our phones. I have always relied upon Nokia Suite for backing up my contacts but it has not worked for me very lately. Now im using zyb.com. The best thing about zyb is that i can get my contacts back anywhere i am because they are available online. Just a tip. Might as well work for you.

  2. Wow, all that for free……..
    Hmmm, I wonder what do they do with all those contacts?
    I wonder if they sell them to finance the site?
