Lost & Found My Mobile..... :)

I actually can't believe it ....... and after this incident ...... I do believe in destiny n luck...........

Finally I got back my lost Mobile in some extra-ordinary way ......... Thank God.... Got back all the informations stored in it...... alongwith with this I got a phone with which my fingers are prolific.

So here the story start of the recovery .......


My childhood friend Ritesh called me up in my new number .....
And started scholding me of not even sharing my new number and giving my old phone to some unknown person..... I was astonished on hearing these words.....

So I asked him, did u called in my old no. I lost the phone.....He told me that somebody answered the call also but he couldn't understand what he was speaking......
I told him that I will callu back and then put down the phone.....
Then I called back in my old number and someone picked up and same problem happened ...he was speaking in Kannada and I was not able to understand (I should have learnt Kannada by now....after staying so long in bangalore approx 2.5+ yrs)....

Then I asked one of my friends in office ...Sandeep to call at the number and get the address and if required offer some money also....
Sandeep called and got the address tooo.... The address was of some place near the new Bangalore Airport (BIAL).....

We went there the next day...again Sandeep gave me the company ...coz without him I wouldn't have been able to interact with people there .....We went for a long ride and after asking few people finally reached the place after a ride of 1 hr....

there we reached one shop and a old man came......he said that his son is not there who got my mobile phone and he will bring it .....we waited there for 15 mins and after that the same old guy came with the phone ....we offered him 50 bugs ...but he wanted more ...so gave him 100 bugs....

Now I had my old phone in my hand ...... was quite glad to get it back ..... :)

Now when I see the whole episode I think the things which resulted in successfully recovery of my phones are :-

1> Outgoing calls were blocked.
2> It was a CDMA set, so the user just can't throw SIM and use some other SIM.
3> The handset has password Lock
4> The user can receive only calls when passowrd lock ...and can't see details inside
5> And timely call of my friend in my old no. and informing me....
6> Lastly, the willingness of the guy who got it ....and thought to return coz it was worthless to him.....but may be worthy for someone like me......

Still Outgoing needs to be enabled...... Already requested Twice in Reliance World.... These people are really slow ..... I saw a lot better service by vodafone guys ............
