Missing phone?

Whoa, this is genius! You know when you lose your phone, and you have to ask a friend to call it for you? Well, if no one's around to help, you can go to this clever website, enter your number, and it will call your phone for you. Ha, I just tried it; it really works!

  3. nice! you can also try google voice. that's what we use at home and it's been a life saver. i also feel that skype would be useful in this situation but haven't tried it.

  4. if you answer it, there's a pause, and then an automated female voice says "it looks like you've found your phone. have a nice rest of the day." :)

    I live all by myself in an apartment and my phone is my only phone, so instead of typing on facebook to have someone call my phone, I will remember this instead!

  39. I can't decide if that's genius or stalkerish. It does have shades of 'When a Stranger Calls' to it.

  46. so cool!

    A bit of advice...don't let Toby play with your cell phone. I made that mistake. I gave in and let our Grayson hold it when I was changing diapers or to say hi to Daddy and now hes obsessed with it. Everytime Im on the phone now, he wants to hold it, and will snake it right out of my hand!

  49. Oh! THis is huuuuge! In my house I lose my phone daily and when I'm out of the house my big paranoia is losing A: my kid B: my wallet and C: my phone. THis will some in handy. Many thanks!!!!
