Eufo, could you please explain what you mean here? This is actually what perplexes me most. How exactly could the phone be ringing if it isn't on...do you mean that the thief put the sim card in a different phone? Or would there be another way to do this?

What baffles me is that the phone *seemed* to be on and ringing for several days, but it wasn't logging on to Edge to check my e-mail. Whoever took it knew what they were doing.
