Cell Stolen must make Phone Calls

External Since: Aug 10, 2006 Posts: 2

I'm on vacation and writing from a café - trying to waste time waiting
for my friend to sleep off his hangover. So here is my dilemma. My
backpack that contained my cell phone was stolen a few days ago. I am
not too concerned since I have insurance. So now I have no phone and my
girlfriend expects me to phone everyday. I still have about 15 days
until I get back. Any advice, since there is no way in hell I am calling
directly from the hostel? And, forget the calling cards, I bought one
and there were so many "connection" charges that I ended up having like
five minutes of actual talking.

Kenny,

Where are you? That would probably help us help you.

And have you thought about e-mailing your girlfriend and telling her
your phone got stolen so you can't call as often as you had previously
said? Seems like a simple enough solution to me.
