Looks like I lost my Curve today in San Antonio, TX
Please Login to Remove!
Im sick about it.
Thought I read somewhere that RIM could "kill" the phone so as its not useful.
I just happen to have my code unlocked at the time.
Of course.
TMobile says they can "suspend" it but I want it dead for all the info I have on it.
Is the "killing" do-able?
Thanks.

Also, when I call my number it just rings to infinity and beyond when I had my voice mail set up on it and it worked earlier in the morning..
Anyone know what that means?

BIS and I meant to say "password off", not code, at the time because I was shooting photos and didnt want to fumble with it and drop my camera.

I don't know if it can be done through RIM. Have you talked to Tmobile BlackBerry support?

Wirelessly posted (off to see the wizard)
If not attached to BES or password protected or no app like roblok there isn't much that can be done about the info on it

...My condolences. >_<
You can only take the usual precautions now, like change passwords, cancel the phone number, cancel any card information you might have on it (*shrug*) and pray you dropped it from a great height and smashed it or some freakish saint returns it to you.

Make sure you delete all the email accounts in BIS and remove the PIN and IMEI while you are at it.

1st call should be to T-mo to cancel the phone. hopefully you didn't have any bank/ccard info in there. If so, I would freeze or cancel.
I just installed roblock on my vzw curve. know its more for phones with sim cards, but I want every assurance to be able to delete what I can.

So, I talked to T-Mo and they said it has not been used as of yet.
As mentioned since it is BIS, not much can be done. But yes, I did cancel all e-mail to it thru T-Mobile and changed all passwords associated with that I could think of.
Fortunately I did back it up before I left home.
And yes, I am hoping some "freakish saint", ha, will answer the damn thing so I can get it back.
Time to get another Curve it looks like.

Well, the 8320 thru T-Mo does have the SIM card but I had never heard of that app before now. I will check into it for my next one.

Well, since you have canceled the service this won't work, but my first suggestion would be to email and/or text the phone a message with a "REWARD - LOST PHONE" message in the email and SMS folders... probably too late now.
Good luck.

Nope, I lost it in downtown/riverwalk/alamo area, but it wouldnt surprise me if it ended up out there, ha.
Its a Titanium Curve in its original little leather/magnet holder.

I would do what JSanders suggested, then have the phone shutdown by your carrier. Good luck.

are there some sort of riverwalk police or riverwalk authority that might have a lost and found? Could it be in a bush or maybe taken a swim? if its the latter, they empty the RW once a year and fish out all the drunks and cameras. maybe they will find your phone then.
Last part is me just being a smartass, but I wonder if there is a lost and found. There are some "freakish folks" that occassionally return cell phones. I have 3 to my credit so far. Seattle, Colorado, and DC.
Good luck!
