Oh yeah, and Uber HQ has no direct number either. If you ever have a similar issue, find an "Uber Green Light" facility in the yellow pages and take your horse and buggy on up there
d. So I might as well find my phone. Guess who you can't reach without your phone? Your Uber driver. Guess what you can't call without a phone? An Uber. Thankfully between google voice, a trusty Uber driver/personal driver in my home city I use often, the ATL customer service desk phone (with a spiral cord and everything) and ATL airport wifi I found out there is an Uber hq 45 minutes from the airport. 6 hours later, after sweet talking an Uber rep into telling me the driver's home address then convincing her daughter to tell me where she is, and a trip to a random Atlanta Kroger to retrieve the phone from behind the deli counter, all the while the taxi meter is running bc no phone=no Uber back to the airport, I'm finally safe on the plane with a significant change fee. Now how the hell do I write that expense report?
How are you posting this?
Which part are you trying to expense?
Missed flight is pretty standard. Taxi is on you.
I would expense the taxi portion too lol
While all this is impressive, it makes no sense why you wouldn't just go to the domestic terminal, print your boarding pass and be on your way. I know you won't get your phone back, but this seems too much of a hassle for a phone.
Wait for it...
Atlanta???? Uber HQ is in SF. BS!!!!
I tried the online route. No response via email.
OP DAMNIT SPILL THE BEANS
Omg! Epic
Wowwww
You could have sweet talked someone into letting you log into your Uber account from their app and connected directly to the driver. This story is great though!
OP has a PSR of 9.0
Did you report the device missing?
For all you solution-ers: 1) @A1: Can't connect to a specific Uber driver without their actual phone number, and I looked at my phone bill (as I was sans phone) and the number you call the driver on through the Uber app is a burner #. It leads to an automated system through which you cannot connect to your original driver unless calling from your own number. Uber doesn't want you repeat calling a specific driver I guess. 2) @A2: Uber is a big company. Some companies have offices outside of their corporate headquarters near major hubs (guessing you're working on Fortune 1000000 clients) 3) @D2: yup, I reported it missing on Uber's site, but my time was limited as I was flying back home from out of state and based on other stories I read about losing phones in an Uber online it was fairly obvious that I wasn't getting a response within 24 hours.
OP whatta day!! But curious if you tried contacting Uber for lost item. Once I dropped my choose keys in the uber and did not realize until I reached another city. I was worried as uber driver had my address. I contacted uber (btw you can even login to uber account through your laptop) and they sent me a note within 5 mins that they have left the message with driver to contact me. In the next 5 mins I got another message from them with drivers contact number to try directly. I was able to connect with him and arrange for a friend to collect the key from him. I was impressed with Uber's responsiveness.
