Don’t Be Like Me – Look After Your Mobile Phone

None of us expect it to happen to us, but then it inevitably does. In my case this has happened twice. I’m talking about losing my mobile phone.

The first time was the result of a few too many beers on a boys night out. I’d been using my phone while on my homeward journey in a taxi and I must have left it on the back seat of the cab. I didn’t realise what had happened until the following day when I called the cab firm only to hear that they didn’t have my phone. I suddenly became aware of how much of my life was stored on that little device.

I vowed that I would be far more careful in future and get myself some mobile phone insurance to cover the cost of replacement. The expense was actually the last thing on my mind as I’d lost a whole load of important telephone numbers and contact details that weren’t stored anywhere else.

We’re all guilty of doing it. When we run into an old friend or make a new contact we immediately enter their contact details into our mobile phones and often don’t even think about transfering those details to an address book.

I then lost my new phone on yet another night out, but this time I wasn’t drunk. I am convinced that a pickpocket was operating in the club and they had expertly removed the phone from my pocket. The truth is that I probably dropped it on the floor when removing cash to pay for drinks at the bar. I told the nightclub staff but, not surprisingly, my phone never re-appeared.

Unfortunately I had not taken out the mobile phone insurance policy that I’d said I would. But, subsequent to my previous experience I had kept a record of all the new phone numbers and contact details that were on the device so the loss wasn’t quite as disastrous as it had been the previous time.

I suppose there is a moral to this sorry tale? Maybe a little one. But I recommend that you routinely backup all of the contact details stored on your phone and get yourself some insurance cover.
