None of us expect it to happen to us, but then it inevitably does. In my case, two times. I’m talking about losing my mobile phone.
The first time I lost my mobile was clearly due to too many drinks 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. When I realized what had happened, the following day, I called the cab firm but unfortunately they didn’t have my valuable telephone.It was suddenly painfully clear how much of my life was actually stored on my little mobile telephone.
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.
Everybody does 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 went and lost my replacement phone on another night out, but this time I wasn’t drunk. I was convinced that a pickpocket had lifted my mobile from my pocket in the nightclub. It’smore likely that I dropped it on the floor when getting some cash from my pocket at the bar. I told the club staff but my new phone never turned up.
Unfortunately I had not taken out the mobile phone insurance policy that I’d said I would. But due to the pain caused by my previous loss I had at least made note of many of the contact details stored on the phone.
Is there a moral to this tale? Not really. But I strongly suggest that you backup all of your telephone contact details and maybe get yourself some insurance to cover the cost of a replacement.
