What Happens To Your Phone When You Die?

  • This is actually a growing concern. We have a lot of memories stored on our cell phones and some family members might have a hard time letting go. I wouldn't want people having full access to my phone, but I certainly have a lot of photos and such stored which I'd love to share.
    What is more confusing to me about this video is how I didn't notice that the collar was sticking out of my jacket on one side only 😂
    These things can get pretty ugly. Police get called, questions about warrants come into play, who should have the right to your phone if there is another name registered to the cell phone plan, etc.
    Just something to consider.

    Never gave it a second thought but you’re right, these things do need to be considered. Thank you for the prompt to do so!

    Very interesting about your cellphones after death. I think I may have to write out a will and have my family lawyer to sign it, with a few witnesses in the case if I die to have my phone disconnected, deleted and whatever my family wants from photos, they can take it.
    Thanks for sharing this.

    Really good question! Our daugther passed suddenly at 31 yrs of age, and we have her phone and laptop. We respected her privacy and never even thought about going thru either one. I guess it's like when my mom would ask for her wallet, and it was in her purse, I just brought her the purse. I was raised that you never go into a womans purse or thru a mans wallet. It's called privacy and respect. Now my mother passed 6 months after our daughter, and I asked my aunt to go thru her things....because I felt if she wanted me to know something, she would of told me, and I respected that. I guess I'm old school, respect my elders and other people's privacy. As far as my daughter electronic devices, we have thought to open them up remove the hard drives and destroy them. It's just hard, as it will bring up her death all over again. But I guess I am siding to keep private what was never shared in the first place.

    On a very different note, my sister had our late brother's cell phone for a few years. She had never used it, and the battery was dead. On the anniversary of his death, my sister was missing him badly (they worked together). Moments later, my brother's dead cell phone started ringing for a few seconds. She was startled by it. I say it was him, saying, "Hey I'm still with you".

    My late ex hubby died suddenly. He died intestate and his sneaky brother ransacked all his personal stuff, took stuff of value, etc. I asked his brother for his phone as he would take lots of pictures of himself, our daughter and the two of them together. Priceless memories that when they are gone, one can never get back. His brother ignored my request and sold what he could, pocketing it all. My daughter was 5 when he passed away, she will be 15 on December 31st. She is forgetting certain places they went to and although she does have the pictures I took of him, those of the two of them are lost forever. I honestly believe he would have wanted me to have it because if not, why in his wallet did he have me as next of lin in phone number and address?

    Good topic. I have two types of cancers trying to take me out of this world early. I have instructed a family member how to unlock my sensitive information, electronic and otherwise when the time comes, if I go before them. I am moving to the east coast to be with family. I mentioned my plans of what I want to do when I get there. My three cancer doctors look at me and word salad to me that I will not likely have enough time to complete that task. This weekend I head east! and am looking forward to it. Cheers.

    A lady in my city wrote a book that's called "I'm dead, now what?" and you fill it in with your wishes and you can fill in spaces for passwords to things and what you want done with ie- your cellphone.

    Apple phones have option to choose your legacy contact. You can choose up to 5 members. So when that sad day comes your legacy contact has access to all your data.

    Another note: When Tim died 6yrs ago, I was tipped off 41Div that the ex wife from 11 yr ago was there tryin' to get his phone from station with our new truck. I had to prove the bill was in my name to retrieve it or that would have been sh*tshow in itself all the while she was tricking me & stealing my trailer from under me. Sad that peoples true colours come out during
    tradgedy.
    What I did find on his phone afterwards on his Google searches. I'm only healin' up from now 6yrs later.. But he knew I would go through it, that's the difference there.

    I feel the phone details or what needs to be done once passed away should be documented along with the will unless there is a problem where we need evidence or something like that and the phone needs to be checked.
    I would be okay with it as I am already into the next life 😊

    Luckily Apple iCloud gives you option to put your family member as a legacy contact. So your information is safe with whoever you choose.
    So does Facebook & Instagram.

    Put it in a will, not to to let family members have your phone and to dispose of it.

    My 1st thought is, who cares, I'm dead and gone. I do care though. Do I want family going through my journal? Nope. Problem is, I don't trust anyone in my family to follow through with my wishes so I don't know. Not sure who I could trust. ps- interesting because my brother pays for my cellphone bill so I wonder if that means he can get access to it?? Things brings up lots of questions.
