I'm gonna invent an alarm for cellphones...

Donna, got an idea for you! You wear jeans. Jeans have belt LOOPS. Make a little tether - okay, take a piece of yarn, loop it around the middle of the cell phone and tie a knot. Reinforce it staying with a piece of pretty tape to tape the yarn to the back of the phone. Now cut the yarn long enough for the phone to be useable while still tether to your belt loop. Tie a jingle bell on the end of the yarn, and then tie the "bell end" to you belt loop each morning, and stuff the rest of the yarn and phone into your pocket. Why a jingle bell? Two reasons: A. Jingle bells are always appropriate in fashion, right?
B. If the yarn manages to come untied, and the phone falls out of your pocket, the jingle bell will jingle when it hits the floor, saying "Donna! I fell!"

I always lose my cell phone, how? It slips out of my back pocket of my jeans, so it is pretty frustrating. Now I just throw it in my bookbag or purse so I don't lose it.

Karen,

Mine has a small "hole" where I can put strong piece of string through it, then maybe a clip. I don't know. OR I could learn to keep better track of it!!

Oh, that makes it much easier! Then a long string and something that'll make noise when dropped and you're ready to go!

I've lost mine for weeks at a time. The last time it was missing from October until just recently and it was in a purse I never use. Someone at home cleaned up by grabbing all of my belongings that were laying about and putting them in the purse before hanging it up in the closet, then forgot what they did.

It's already been de-activated but it was only a $20 pay as you go phone from virgin mobile so it's not a huge loss at least.

I keep thinking "Gee, I could be RICH if I invented a device like that!!!!!" Of course, that's as far as it's gone. But still. It's not a bad idea!

How about something like that on the loop of your phone? I know a few people who have devices like this.
