Ive Lost My Phone Help Needed

[Mr-Ice-Man]

Well i went out last night and came home without my phone what a nightmare, so can anyone tell me what i need to do to get the phone blocked and barred and anything else so they carnt use it or view info from the phone...

[Rustynuts]

Contact your network provider, and tell them. They'll cancel your sim card to stop anyone using it for calls etc. If you know the imei number of the phone they can barr the handset so it's useless to anyone else. The IMEI number will be on the box the phone came in if you still have it.

Is it PAYG or contract?

[Mr-Ice-Man]

Ok cheers im gonna phone them now.
Its PAYG

08701 123123 is a recorded message system listing service providers numbers to contact, not to actually report your lost phone.

When you have trouble connecting with Bluetooth, Read The Manual. Top Tip, that one.

lmao - well put rusty:lager:

[Mr-Ice-Man]

Have you got the nokia 6280 aswell?
Im having problems saveing contacts they save and then disapear...

[Rustynuts]

No, the wife has the 6280 (I have a 6234). I don't think she has problems saving contacts though. It does sometimes lose the memory card. Removing it and replacing it restores it. If you're saving them on the memory card (can you do that?) it could be your problem.

[Mr-Ice-Man]

No im saveing them to the sim card i get about 2 and then they just go

[Rustynuts]

Sorry, I have no idea there, mate. http://www.fonefunshop.co.uk/forum/images/icons/icon9.gif
