What do you do when you Lose your phone?

I usually borrow a phone and call my phone.

Did you know there are other ways to find your phone?

Email someone I trust and ask them to call me.

How lost is lost? As in put it down somewhere and just can't remember where, or actually was out somewhere and thought it was in a safe pocket and it wasn't?

1. Do a movement track thing... calm thoughts and figure out where I've been.
2. Consider what I was doing - hubby "lost" his under the driver's seat of the car when it fell out of his pocket and slid under where it *really* wasn't obvious.
3. assume most people are basically honest and make their life easy...
My cell phone has a rigid case which is removed to use the phone. Hubby asked why I'd put our house phone number on the case. Duh...so someone can call the house if they find my phone? My son once found someone's phone. Hubby broke into it, but couldn't find any way to contact the owner till he risked a cold call to someone in her address list called "mom"! Make it easy for good Samaritans - they're out there!

I use my phone so seldom, it is often  days before I realize it is missing. So, calling a dead phone is useless for me.   My process is to check to see if it has fallen into my recliner. Check my vehicles.  Check the office.  Wait.  It always eventually appears.

Edit:
I once lost it in an east coast city of 100,000.   The nice person who found it, figured out which number belonged to my wife and notified her. My wife, knowing the old flip phone was to be replaced, thanked her and asked her to destroy it. When I got home from the trip, I called the lady and thanked her.  That is when things got weird. The stress in the woman’s voice clearly showed she thought she had gotten hold of a stalker.  I got off the phone quickly.   It was pointless to try to destress her.
