Where Is Gem's Phone?

[Manikular]

At sometime during the weekend, Gem's phone has gone missing. Before you read what I am about to write I must point out that I'm not insinuating that anyone stole the phone etc, i'm just trying to help Gem find it. seen.

The phone in question is a sharp GX10 which is registered to Vodafone via the Vodafone "Retail" subdivision... Just to point out.. I actually work for these guys...

I'm about to persue a trace for the handset, each phone has a unique serial number known as an IMEI number [if you would like to find your own, please type *#06# on your own mobile and see what happens]. I have Gem's IMEI number at work so as soon as i'm in my office tomorrow I shall start the trace.. now here is the good part...

when a mobile phone is switched on, it's always communicating with the network via transmitters called "Cell Sites"... these sites are all over the place and becuase of the nature of the system [uk mobiles use GSM currently], these cell sites are usually about 1-4 miles apart.. why am i telling you this... well if the phone is being used, we can triangulate and ascertain where the phone is [just like how the police do in murder enquiries etc].. which means we can usually pin point an address where the phone is or has been. now gems phone is GPRS which means it's constantly connected to the network, so its even easier to locate it..

what if you put a different sim in? hard luck it's locked for Vodafone.. and even if you managd to unlock it... it's the IMEI we trace [unique to the mobile]

i'm writing this becuase the phone cost £200 - and then there is the remaining part of the contract [some 10 months]

basically the phone is useless to anyone else because if we can't locate it, i'll just bar the actual imei which means no sim in the entire world will work in it. so one wouldn't even be able to access the menu, thus meaning that you couldn't even play the games on it.

as i said earlier i'm not insinuating that any of you lot have nicked the phone, but the whereabouts is unknown.. if you know where the phone is or find it somewhere.. please drop me a PM.

the reward for the safe recovery is...

~ guest list for the jumping jack source event
~ guest list for the terra technique dj zinc/slipmatt event
~ guest list for the streetbeats goldie event
~ addition to the new vision and formula inc. label mailing lists
~ a VIP sample cd full of original breaks, stabs and basslines!

once again, i'm not pointing the finger, i just want to help a mate out with a quest and due to the nature of my work i'm in teh best position to help.

nice one folks.

I saw it that night when all crew from abingdon were round, remember Kingy was messing about with it and then he goes 'whos phone is that?', he was told that it was Gems then he put it back on the bookshelf. I seem to remember a few of us going on about who was going to be responsible for giving it to Frosty....

I was more than a little bolloxed so memory aint exactly world class, but was it not blerg who volunteered for that? (if not sorry ben).

Kingy def. had a look at it then put it back on the bookshelf cos I saw that happen. After that though, no ideas. Good luck finding it....
