    At the weekend I lost my phone. It was a black iPhone 4 32GB. Left it down on a table and didnt notice until i was out the door. it was gone when i went back.

    I didnt have find my phone or anything set up. Foolish i know. was on my todo list but just never happened.

    Three mobile have not been helpful or friendly about the issue at all. Not expecting a new phone, but dont like them sniggering down the phone at my situation either ( actually happened!)

    So, I have my phone serial number, thats it, no IMEI, just the serial number. Can i do anything with this?

    Of you not have phone box anymore or receipt? There's nothing they can do really without YOUR information.

    Its definitely on the box. The receipt thing depends where you got it, Some stores print it. Some don't

    One more question. If i get the IMEI, have my phone blacklisted, and then its returned a few weeks from now. is it just a paper weight now or do i have recourse to have it removed from the blacklist?

    You can ring up three and get it removed.
