    You didn't get told off, you just got directed to the right place. And this still isn't the right place, just follow the link I provided previously.

    You loose phone, ring (3,meteor,o2,vodafone) whoever.

    You get them to block the phone and IMEI

    You then go to Gadget Insurance and Make Your Claim

    Your claim is ok and they send you a new phone.

    You then call them up (Gadget Insurance) when you receive new phone and give them the new IMEI number of your new phone. Also do this with your phone provider.

    Done And Dusted


    If for some reason your asking because you made a claim and you then found the phone again, the IMEI would have been blocked because you would have had the phone blocked by your provider before making the claim.

    If that's the case you ring the phone provider and they will unblock it, and your supposed to send the new claim phone back or the lost one back. That's if they ask you of course :D

    Thanks so much, that was basically what I was asking. It was genuienly lost back in June but has turned up in a relatives house... but obviously it is as dead as a door nail.... and I thought someone in our house could re-use it.
