Well, you might think you are smart enough to not loose your precious mobile phone. But, are you really that smart? (That’s the kind of question that i’ve been dodging for a while). Anyway, everyone on this planet, rich or poor, male or female will have a bad-mobile-day. Yeah sounds stupid. But what will you do if you loose your handset? May be that’s a good reason to buy the latest model of some blackberry look-alike(or, are you going to cry?). I’ll tell you exactly what you’ll do. You will remember god and if the mobile was costly, you would pray(read as beg). That’s right, you will come to google and do the google search. So what i have done here in this article is, i have saved your time and to some extent lessened your internet bill by suggesting the best possible approaches when you loose a mobile.
