We lost our phone. This was a really hard loss. Dozens of numbers were saved in it, as well as several important messages that it would be too complicated to get back. My wife was at a loss. She remembered that the last time she’d held the phone was in our family car, but when she sent our son out to search there, he returned empty-handed. She sent him out again and called the cell phone, but it was consistently silent. It seemed the phone was either offline or on silent.
We didn’t give up. The truth is that it was hard to manage without a phone, and in that one day the possibility of purchasing a new phone came up as many times as my wife needed the phone urgently, but we tried to hold out, because – who knew? Perhaps we’d still find it.
In the morning when we came to the parking lot, we heard the sound of the phone ringing. The sound was coming from under the car!
How was this possible? The phone was offline.
The riddle was solved very quickly. My wife is registered to get a reminder about shemiras halashon every hour on the hour. The reminder would ring even when the phone was offline, and that is how we heard it exactly when we were nearby.
Chizuk in shemiras halashon enabled us to find the phone!
