Cell Phone Stolen

Hey all.

Today around 5:30pm my cell phone was stolen. It was turned off immediately after they took it, so I doubt they called anyone from it yet, but please be aware that I have no cell phone, nor do I have any of your numbers.

It was completely my fault, and I'm a huge idiot for putting myself in the situation in the first place, a fact made completely apparent to me by the police who took my report, so let's not get into it. It'll just end up with you saying, "Why did you do that?" And me retorting, "Because I'm an idiot." And neither one of us will feel better. In fact, I'll feel a whole lot worse.

I'll update here when I have a new chip and phone. Shouldn't be more than a day or two. In the meantime, please e-mail me your phone numbers. Please don't assume I know it already. I put it in my phone so I wouldn't have to remember it.

Thanks.

UPDATE: Apparently, T-Mobile has a policy wherein any charges incurred on my phone before I reported it stolen to THEM (read: NOT the police) are my responsibility. Even if it is a 142 minute call at $3.99/minute plus a bunch of games and ringtones equaling $700. Awesome.

UPDATE II: I have a new phone, same number. It's currently working, so feel free to call me now.

I hate to tell you this, but whomever stole your phone has defiled it with a ringback tone of some hip hop track of the generic order.

Oddly enough, they didn't feel the need to change the voicemail message, so it is still your name and voice on there.

Poor Blackberry.

p.s. I say we all spam call nick's old line so that this person gets no sleep and/or use out of the phone.

That is a tremendous idea. However, he is right now canceling the service and dealing with it. So call right now while you can!!!
