Today, I got a new cell phone. I was unable to retrieve my old contact list from my old phone, so I sent out a mass email asking my friends to "Give me your contact info, unless you don't want me to text/call you!" No one is responding. FML

Today, my phone decided to delete all my numbers. I posted on Facebook that people should message or text me if they felt like I should have their number. I didn't get a single reply. FML

Today, my phone wasn't working properly. After sending out 40 texts and getting no replies, I decided to test my phone by sending it a text from my old phone. The text came through straight away. Turns out my phone's working perfectly and 40 people are just ignoring me. FML

Today, feeling festive, I sent everyone on my phone's contact list a holiday message. Almost everyone replied back "who's this?" FML

Today, I sent out an email asking people to contact me if they were not on our group's email list yet so that I could add them. I sent it out to the group list. They were quite amused. FML

Today, my girlfriend accused me of not having any friends. So I sent out a mass text saying "Hey, what's up?" to prove her wrong. I didn't get any replies. FML

Today, my cell phone broke. It wouldn't even turn on. I went online to access my account so that I could order a new phone. I couldn't remember my password. The phone company had an option of "forgot my password". Upon clicking I get a message saying "Your password will be sent to your phone". FML

Today, while filling out some medical forms, I was asked for an emergency contact. I realized I didn't have anyone who would actually care enough to be my contact. FML

Today I went to the bus station to pick up a lost phone. Even after calling ahead the day before, I was turned away because I hadn't e-mailed. The website says to call and doesn't list an e-mail. I still don't have the phone. FML

Today, I had to change my mobile number because I was getting abuse from a guy, so I sent my new number to all of the people on my contact list. Including him. FML

Today, I checked my inbox and realized I got an email from a potential employer, saying they were having trouble getting a hold of me by phone. They called while my mom was using my phone to look up directions to a place, and she answered, kindly hanging up when they asked for me. FML

Clearly, your friends don't want you to text or call them. You must be annoying

If you didn't put your name at the end of that statement then I probably wouldn't have responded either.

umm.. copy every number down from your old phone onto your new one takes a while unless you have 5 contacts

Why didn't you manually transfer your contacts from your old phone?

YDI for thinking that everyone will give away their personal information via E-Mail without thinking twice. That being said, that makes it also not a FML at all. It means your friends aren't stupid. You, however, probably are.

When I get a new phone I just transfer them manually. Not everyone is fast to reply to emails, and either way I don't have to go through the hassle of asking people for numbers again or saying "Who is this?" when they text/call my new phone.

Actually YOU are the dumb one! The OP wrote a mass EMAIL to their friends- not a text message that would require their phone contact info! Perhaps you should go back to middle school and learn some basic English comprehension?
