Same experience in my home country, Algeria. In most cases you'd call and someone would be happy to meet and give you the phone, and they won't take money. This happens even though most people don't have iPhones, and carriers don't lock phones, so technically it's easier to format the phone and use it or sell it.
- genghisjahn 4y agoThis has happened with me in the US twice. My wife lost her phone, daughter lost her phone. Made a call, "Sure we'll wait here." Got the phone back both times.
- 13of40 4y agoBack when the iPhone first came out, one of my friends got one. One day we ended up going out fishing on a boat with another guy and we all left our phones on the dock so they wouldn't get wet, and I signalled to my wife to pick them up. Apparently she didn't understand my hand gestures or whatever and left them there, and they disappeared. For the two junky flip phones there was a happy ending - someone dropped them in the window of a park ranger's truck - but the iPhone was never seen again.
