Anyone who knows me - I have lost my Etisalat mobile - this is the one starting 0113322** so please use my vodaphone 0109**** phone to contact me if you have the number otherwise PM/Email me!
I was being a bit chaotic with my bags on the bus tonight and I think it slipped out - I felt something slip but didn't think it was that. Unfortunately it is in Silent mode so noone will hear it ringing (tried ringing it and its either been switched off or out of signal range).
Over 70LE credit on it too

Did you call him back or something to try and get it back ?

Yes - I have a feeling its the woman who was next to me on the bus but she doesn't understand me. I have someone on the case but I've a feeling that I need an arabic speaker to call from my phone before she'll answer. (if it is the woman off the bus who found it then we had exchanged phone numbers - on that phone - so she knows my name).
I've just spent half an hour copying all the numbers off my vodafone into a word file just in case. Thank goodness it wasn't that phone that got lost! Most of the numbers on the etisalat phone I also had on the vodafone. Just a few I think I've lost!

SQ..sorry to hear of your mob.loss, be more careful next time, here's a hint for everybody to know in case you want to disable your stolen mobile :
1-Check your mobile's serial number by doing *#06# you'll get a 15 digit number that's unique to your set, write it down and save it somewhere safe. 2-Call your service provider and give them the code, ask them to block your stolen sim card and set. Now that the set has been blocked, even if the sim card is replaced by the person who's stolen your mobile it won't work, it became a worthless peice of sh*t, and they can stick it up their..well you know.

Problem is, I just tried calling them, and despite having the receipt and all from when I bought it, and despite them taking a copy of my passport etc, they have singularly failed to add the passport number to my account so I have to go to a shop with my passport now to prove I'm me They asked me to tell them 3 numbers I'd called in the last month but as all the numbers are on the stolen phone, I haven't a clue! Reception in my flat is so crap that I was outside, and to get the numbers of my computer I would have had to come back in and used up all my credit on the other phone which I can't afford to do today because some logistics are going on here and I need my credit!!! Oh well at the end of the day I've lost about 70LE (unless the person doesn't take advantage of the credit before I can get to one of their big shops to cancel it) and a crappy handset I was thinking of changing anyway. Handsets gone already because she's called one of my friends and told them she found just the SIM.

Main learning point is: keep a list of all the contact numbers somewhere else not just on your phone - I think there's only 2 or 3 I don't have elsewhere (that I care about).

You didn't call me I don't think, I called you, and then there's Amr, do you need one more person ?

There's only one person I know for sure I called from the Etisalat!
I'll go to the shop Sunday I guess and see what's what.

OK Everyone.
I have decided that as the handset is 'gone' and as the credit is probably now down to 10-20LE, its really not worth anymore hassle on anyone's part.
If the woman rings anyone, please tell her 'keep it as a wedding gift'
I'll just have to take more care in future.

Shanta I know how you feel..... I had my cellphone snatched from me when I lived in Hurghada... I was completely lost, because my key was attached to it...... couldn't even ring my flatmate to let me in..... didn't have anyone's number written down..... was a horrible situation..... it wasn't even a particularly expensive phone!!!!
