Answer 1

Not your fault, not your problem. Better to stay out of the mess other people made. Why should you clean it up? Though you're friends and you probably feel obligated to help, there are some things better left undone.

Answer 2

get them together. it always works for me. make them come into the same room and dont let them leave till they work things out. and point out the obvious: they are about to ruin a perfectly good friendship over some cellphone mishap. trust me, they will thank you later
