Hi @Anonymous

You need to speak with O2.

Guide here https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Pay-Monthly-and-Pay-Go/Lost-or-Stolen-O2-Device-How-to-Report-it/m-p/1023990

I have no affiliation whatsoever with O2 or any subsidiary companies. Comments posted are entirely of my own opinion. This is not Customer Service so we are unable to help with account specific issues.

@AnonymousPlease come back and read the above advice as we are not customer services. Don't forget to inform the police to get a crime reference number (or someone may hand it in.) Also if insured, then let insurers know...

Do this urgently as you are responsible for usage on the phone until you report it but I believe limited to £100.

Hi @clivityuk The lost and stolen line is open for 24 hrs a day. You could have borrowed a phone to call... People do have landlines and there is a number to call if you have access to one. There is an online form you could complete ...All methods of contact are in this link..https://community.o2.co.uk/t5/Other-Products-and-Services/Lost-or-Stolen-O2-Device-How-to-Report-it/...

You must report it within 24 hrs...
