The only clue was a low level beep when the battery was about done. Since I wasn't married to it, I let the battery run down and now the sim card has been expired for about 2 years. My wife of 31 years next week, has its twin I do keep paid up so she can stay in touch at the rest home where she is in the hospice program from COPD. The first time I found it live I thought I had forgotten to turn it off, so I started logging it, 2nd time I had turned it off an hour prior. 3rd time I said to hell with it, cuz the only thing they might hear is me muttering to myself. I am living alone, and my muttering is definitely NSFW. Take care, stay safe and well Nik.
