I use it so rarely. I misplace it all of the time. I just gave you a million dollar idea.

A second cell phone. Or a land line. Use either to call your cell phone and locate it.

I'll take a cashier's check plz

Integrate it with programmable Clapper technology: rather than clapping your hands you get to set a programmable word for it to respond to.

ya i thought i was onto something too when i had that idea but there's so many god damn apps. even if it's off you can send it a text or call it from a landline and it will turn on. you can get it to emit a grossly annoying sound if it's in your vicinity or track it by gps if you don't know where you've lost it. there's even features where you can lock it or do a full erase remotely if you got compromising pictures of yourself on it etc.

Does that work if it's powered off?



If you insist on turning it off as someone else said attach a key finder thing to it. If you don't turn it off there are applications you can buy that will locate it for you.

Don't think it can power on a phone. It needs a data connection to be able to do anything to it. So if its powered off it wont be able to communicate.

Maybe I should attach it to myself on a belt. I will give it a week and then I will go buy another phone.

Some phones have a feature that will turn them on if you have an alarm set so that it can go off even if you have turned the phone off. Set an alarm for daily at a time when you would usually be home, then listen for it.

Some phones can also be turned on remotely. Most Nokia models can do this, and it's becoming more common. I've heard Iphones can be turned on remotely, but not sure. Anyway, call your service provider and ask them if they can, they might even tell you the truth and turn the phone on and call it.

Shouldnt turn your cell phone off Modeeb. I never leave my cellphone lying around. Its either on me or in three places. I get very few calls but my cellphone is expensive like a little computer

You are old enough to have learned personal organization.

I have distinct places for my wallet, cell phone, keys, armament, etc.

That's the only place they get put when at home.


Make it so!


peace

I just found it under the seat of my truck. I will now use all my skills as a gamer to create a new strategy for never losing again.

I have a wooden bowl on my nightstand that I put my keys, wallet, and other things. My cellphone will either be in my coat pocket at home if I forgot to take it out and plug it in or plugged in the USB cable on my computer desk or plugged in on my nightstand near my bed

I find that since I get so tired during the week if I do things the same way every time that I wont make mistake. I do the same thing every day when I shut my truck down and get home and I do the same thing every morning. This ritual prevents mistakes and allows me to operate when purely exhausted. I think the military operate the same way
