Carphone warehouse recepit

I bought a new PAYG phone from carphone warehouse just 10 days ago and have just realised I dont have a clue where the effing receipt is. I've looked everywhere for it and cant find where I've put the !!!!!!. Considering I've only had it for 10 days I feel like a right !!!!. If anything goes wrong with the phone in the coming months and I need a repair or whatever, any idea if I'm totally screwed without the receipt or if I can get a proof of purchase (i.e. bank statement?) they may re-print one. I feel like a complete prat not being able to hold onto a piece of paper for over a week.

Cheers

    u get manufacturers warrenty for a year and i dont think theyll do it without a repciet cos they havent got any proof then how old the phone is. try and get a copy but if u paid with cash they might not reprint incase it wasnt u who got it if u get me, if u paid with a card they would be able to check so

    bank statement would just show u got x amount from cpw it wont show what for so manufacturer prob wouldnt take much notice
    Yes Your Dukeiness :D
  • CPW can track your phone on their database using its IMEI,I would'nt lose any sleep over it.

    As said - most manufacturer approved service centres can also verify warranty status by IMEI or serial number. If you go into a CPW store with the phone, they should be able to reprint you the receipt from their system as well anyway - I know I've had that done in the past.

    Carphone Warehouse just checked my name and address, and then saw that I'd bought the phone there.
