While you can save info to a phone without a SIM inserted, to me, the story stinks. If I'm going to buy the nanny tale... well, if Casey was switching phones, IMO, that's one of the numbers that she'd want to have on both. Yet it seems it's absent from the phone that's still around. I think little Miss "I can't cry! I have to stay composed," is clinging to the delusion that the record of numbers she called/received calls from last month can't be retrieved from the phone company. "Oh, look. I lost my phone! (Too bad, soooo sad, suckers. I'm on top of this)"
