Hello,

Cleaning up and found the box w/ Z6M in it, along w/ 1/6/08 ticket. About a week later daughter left in jacket. It was found when washer finished. There it was vibrating as I opened the door!

It may still work, however, you reported it lost to Asurion/Lockline/whomever, right? That being the case, the phone is unusable, and should be returned to the insurance company after your data is transferred.

If you just simply bought a new phone, and this one still works, you can use it. Other than minor interference with your existing phone (delayed message reciept and possible call deflection to voicemail), there is really nothing to worry about from your carrier. They are not the SS, only a business.
