A Few Open Thoughts on Locating this Phone:


  • Backtrack Its Used-At Locations:

Find out if it has been come across. If you were at a public location (i.e. a retail store, contact them, seeing if it was placed aside by the store manager.


  • Contact Local Authorities:

Also, consider contacting local authorities, seeing if it was handed over. If someone is keen, then they would have handed, it over and not kept it for themselves.


  • Dial or Text the Phone:

See what happens when you dial or text the phone. Who knows? You may hear it make some noise in the other room.
