I know this aint a second hand phone story but it's great read on ppl!!

At work I am known as mr fix-it when it comes to phones so i generally get to play with at least 3-4 mobiles a day cos the ppl i work with haven't got a clue, they get the latest handset with camera and bluetooth and video can use those functions................ and get stuck on the easy bit's i.e can't get on predictive text and how do i make it louder LMAO

So they give me their phone and within 5 mins i've sorted the problem. Here's the great bit!!!!

Then i ask them to turn on their bluetooth and send them a picture then click browse and tell them to accept IF THEY WANT TO they have no idea thinkling they are getting a picture/ringtone in the mean time they have given me access to their files which go onto my phone in a couple of clicks

After doing this a few times i got home made videos / pics most of them nudes or engaging in some sort of wierd naked sport "horizontal jogging" i believe working with these ppl is much more fun now a days!!!!

Ha,

A few years ago my company purchased a number of old handsets from a police auction, and subsequently we obtained phones that were in the previous possesion of drug dealers, hitmen and criminals.

The cops didn't feel the need to clear up any content on these phones, so as you can imagine there was a heap of sordid stuff still stored (contacts, texts, voice recordings)

Texts about prosititutes, guns, drug rings, guys with prices on their heads, etc.

Interesting reading, but cleared them all out!

@Oooga - rather a scary story and thoughts! Perhaps you should have taken that phone and it's texts to the police

@Kryptik - Nice story, sounds like this comedian's a nice bloke too, most comedians and 'celebrities' would at best not reply and at worst send something not very nice back!

@ph-m - Your story of course brings me to another question - have you ever borrowed a mate's or girl's phone to look at, and have you ever gone into the pictures, or the inbox etc., and found something you shouldn't have done?

It happened to me the other way round a little while back - my girlfriend had sent me a rather dirty and suggestive text, and a mate was looking at my phone, and found this text! And my girlfriend was next to me (she'd sent the text a couple of days ago) and she went bright red!

I had a few sarcastic comments off him for the next few days!

I've had that too, so many phone's I've recieved still have the previous owner's phone numbers on it! It's usually those with broken screens, or the previous owner either thought was unfixable, or simply forgot to wipe everything off it before sending it

Have had so many secondhand phones that have the previous owners contacts still on it. Whenever I sell a phone I all make sure that I have wiped the phone clean of everything. I am still waiting to get a phone with a famous persons phone number on it.

I've never found that on a phone (mine were all new).

However if anyone ever found my phone they'd have fun looking through my pic and vid folders!

There's one good reason to buy secondhand phones - have a little look at what's been left on it! Though of course it would all be wiped before selling on

Unforunately, that nice topless picture on that V500 has now been wiped off - I sent if off to be unlocked and it's firmware changed and it's all gone now!

I found a phone at a club (some nokia with video).
First looked in the pics and sore many, many pics of womens feet then to my shock a woman going south on some guy (pretty sure it was the owners girl from the point of view taken).

So on to the video's (if under 18 please do not read on )
There were video clips of high powered moto's and other crap then video after video of sex acts with i guess his gilfriend but this guy had some obsession with feet as half the dirty gits videos were of his bird wanking him off with her feet

Never managed to meet the guy as i just handed into the clubs main desk!

lol - I think the moral of the story is to be careful what you keep on your phone - and transfer anything naughty off your phone, as you never know who may find those mucky pictures!
