lost my cell phone and all of my phone numbers!!!! years ago i used memorize and write people's phone numbers down. Now i just put them in my phone that i don't have anymore.... i have to get a new one tomorrow

I'd hate that! I've got 122 contacts- phone numbers, email, home and business address- on my phone. One good thing about my phone is that all that stuff is uploaded to a website so should I lose my phone my contacts aren't lost with it.

(*I added this reply from my phone. I have a T-Mobile Sidekick II)

I only memorize 2 numbers: home & the cell phone I'm using
If I need 2 find a person, I go look 4 them in person.
r we there yet, r we there yet, r we there yet?

maybe it happened for a reason? lol

You need(ed) Bluetooth.

maybe my new phone will be

Isn't that the WORST??

It's happened to me twice. Last time when I got a new phone I made friends loan me their phones for a few minutes so I could copy all the numbers I needed. When I was young, I memorized phone numbers like nothing. Now that I never actually dial any numbers, it's hard.

I picked up a new cell phone a few weeks ago. At the store, the guy behind the counter told me he could transfer all of my numbers from my old phone's SIM card to the new phone's SIM card and proceeded to erase all of my numbers.



I was able to replace most of them after emailing everyone I knew and checking the numbers printed on my phone bill, but I was pissed.

Hell, I am still mad about it.

My sypmathies.

no matter how much i get used to having a cell phone on me, i will still jot down phone numbers in my address book at home, just in case. my address book never leaves my desk, and the batteries never run out on something made out of paper and ink.

new phone == new friends
let's start over & try that again, I don't know what happned the first time

what really pissed me off about my situtation was immediately before numbnuts erased my SIM, I asked him if I should write the numbers down first.

"Nah, no worries. We do this all the time. You're numbers are safe."

Asswipe.

That will teach me.

i think one of the advantages to being an old fart is that i will use technology but i refuse to trust it.

I will belive it when I see it.

hey, i come from amish stock, make of it what you will.

Get a bluetooth phone, and then it's easy to synch with your computer.

I say that, but then, I have a bluetooth phone, and I've never bothered to transfer my numbers, so when I lose/break my phone one day, I'm totally fucked.

I have NO IDEA what my boyfriend's phone number is. I wouldn't recognize it if I saw it. Isn't that weird?

And all you org kitties? Yeah, no idea. All on my phone.

i have a blue tooth thing.. but i havent a clue how to use it.. my phone has all these great things.. its a 3G phone, but its all too confusing.. i just phone and text

oi, some jerk screwed up my contact list & I don't know what 2 do about it
