My phone has vanished. Last had it Wednesday morning. Couldn't find it before leaving the house and was running a bit late and not allowed it at work anyway.

Anyway, it's gone. You know when you say you've searched high and low for something? No stone has been unturned.

I'm just frustrated and confused, there were photos of my DCs on there.

Where were you on Wednesday? Is it in another bag?

TowerRavenSeven · 25/01/2019 19:03

Call the number from another phone then go around listening for it.

Artfullydead · 25/01/2019 19:05

Yeah I have Tower, it just goes through to voicemail. I didn't leave the house with it is the thing.

Have you removed all sofa cushions?

MissMilly88 · 25/01/2019 19:08

Dressing gown pocket? It's where I always leave mine!

Is it an iPhone and if it is have you tried find my iPhone?

Is it backed up so you still have your pictures?

I did this, it just vanished in to thin air I replaced it. 11 months after we got rid of our sofa and I got a phone call from a bin man saying they had found my Phone it has fallen in to a hole gap in to the middle of sofa 🙈🙈

I once put my phone in the fridge - I had it in my hand as I was unloading the shopping. I found it 3 days later under a packet of meat.

IncomingCannonFire · 25/01/2019 19:13

Do you have a Google account I think you can locate it on there. If you had it set up of course.

Artfullydead · 25/01/2019 19:15

It's gone, trust me - it is weird as fuck!

In the bin? Laundry basket?

Bluntness100 · 25/01/2019 19:28

Down the side of the mattress? Under the bed? In a clothes drawer?

It's amazing how you can put things somewhere not realising.

Artfullydead · 25/01/2019 19:29

I have checked, honestly. I am really confused. Christ knows whats happened.

This happened to me once and it had slipped out of my pocket into a boot. I didn't find it until I put those boots on again (on my way to go and buy a new phone!).

tinstar · 25/01/2019 19:32

Walk into each room in your house and think where you might put your phone if you want to put it down momentarily. I've put mine down on a bookshelf in DS's room for example when I've been cleaning. Did you have it in bed? Check if it's fallen behind. Have you changed handbags? Worn a different coat?

margaritasbythesea · 25/01/2019 19:34

Apron or something else with a front pocket. For some reason things become invisible to me in a front pocket.

wrenika · 25/01/2019 19:35

Have you checked cupboards? I know that sounds nuts by my DP loses his phone in cupboards all the time...he sets it down since it's running a podcast or the like, then forgets to move it when it finishes and it ends up getting shut in the cupboard until he realises its missing!

YourFly · 25/01/2019 19:36

Laundry basket
Recycling

It will be there somewhere

Artfullydead · 25/01/2019 19:36

No, it's gone. Thanks.

This happened to friends of ours, their 2 year old who was going through a 'hiding treasure' stage was the main suspect. They moved house and still didn't find it, although it's last location showed it was in the house and they went through everything for the move. So frustrating to lose the pictures OP, I sympathise.

FleeceDetective · 25/01/2019 19:39

When do you last remember having it?

Artfullydead · 25/01/2019 19:41

wednesday morning

tinstar · 25/01/2019 19:43

Can you mentally go through everything you did on Wednesday morning from when you woke?

Artfullydead · 25/01/2019 19:45

Yes, I have thanks, I know when I lost it and it has gone. What's really confusing me is where it could be

if you have a samsung you can try and trace it. i cant remember what its called but google it. Even if its been stolen it should be trackable.
