I'm afriad Kingdon is right, I've sold phone insurance from several providers, and its a standard cause. Its part of your responsibility in looking after the phone to report it lost or stolen to the police (who will give you a loss number and then have a ecord of the loss if it is handed in) and to your network/service provider to have the SIM blocked.

Yep same thing happened to me except I told them I lost it when I really threw it in the river.

If anyone else loses their phone....must report it to Police straight away.

Did you know the toxic metals in one mobile phone can kill all river mammals within a 1km stretch?

Well done Clare85

It's people like you who keep insurance prices sky high.
Let's hope the insurance company don't find out your real i.d.
