All is well!

My son called the ball park (AT&T Park no less ) and they had his phone in lost and found. He went back today and has it.

BTW, Cingular said that they would suspend the account temporarily to give time to see if the phone would show up. They could not set it to receive calls into email - both incoming and outgoing would have to be shut down. The phone is not the problem. The sim card is. They have no way to shut down a phone. In fact I gave my son my last phone when I bough a new one in June. He merely put his sim into it. Though locked, it accepted his sim because it was from the same carrier.

I tried to tell my son that I thought he should suspend service. He refused. He was made very aware that HE would be responsible for any charges and that they might be very considerable if the card was used as cordelli warns by a group of people making calls in rapid succession to places far way.

Try to tell a 21 year old something!

Anyway, thanks to all for your advice! And thanks to the cleaners at AT&T Park!
