How many times a week does this happen?
I don't know.
Ask my husband and he will say hourly. :-) I am terrible about losing mine. I would probably be better off with a phone that was connected to the wall. :-)
Anyway...
I found something that is AMAZINGLY helpful.
Did you know that you can send a text via email?????
Yep!!!
STORY ALERT: My Saturday morning was a little stressful; I was working on some things with "A" when my phone rang. "T", of course, thought it was a great time for me to read a book and brought me CORDUROY to read. I talked to my hubs about some events that were taking place later that day. Then, distracted, I set the phone down and laid the book on top if it. :( ...and then continued to work with "A".
By afternoon, it had been gone for a while. Due to the events of the day, I needed to call my husband immediately. I started getting stressed, "T" was asleep and I couldn't go any where. I didn't know what to do.
THEN, I thought, I wonder if you can send a text via email. I know I have sent messages to an email before, so it should work vice versa. So I googled it and I found out that you can!!!!
I figured out the correct code and sent a text to my husband. "Please call me and keep calling until I answer. I lost my phone. - J." I wasn't sure if it was going to work but, within minutes, my phone started ringing and, shortly after, I found it under the book.
YAY!!!! ...So how do you do it????
First, you have to have an email account. :-)
Then you type the 10-digit phone number in front of the phone carrier's address. Let me give you an example. Let's say your friend/family member uses AT&T. Then you would put in their number and their gateway.
EXAMPLE: 1234567890@mms.att.net
Thanks to Digital Trends for the info, as well as the carriers' gateways. See below for list of each carrier's address. I was so grateful for this info. It was a lifesaver. I hope this helps someone else. For more information on how-to go to Digital Trends. - Rejoicing in the Present
