Keep Your Mobile Phone Safe
None of us expect it to happen to us, but then it inevitably does. In my case, 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. Thinking back I was using my mobile phone on my way home and must have left it on the back seat of the taxi. The following morning, when I realized what had happened, I called the cab firm only to hear that my phone had not been found.It suddenly became very clear how much of my life was actually 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 cost of replacement was actually the last thing on my mind as I was more concerned by the lost telephone numbers and contact details.
We all do it. We run into an old friend and we immediately input their contact details into our telephones and don’t think about transferring those details to our computers or some sort of backup device, like 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 was in a nightclub so I told the bar staff and security guys but, unfortunately, my phone didn’t turn up.
Unfortunately I had not taken out the mobile phone insurance policy that I’d said I would. But my experience the last time I’d lost my phone had led to my making note of most of the contact details on my phone.
I suppose there is a moral to this sorry tale? Not really. But I strongly recommend that you regularly backup all of your contact details from your mobile phone and consider getting some insurance to cover the cost of replacement.
