Yes. It's not the network's fault that it was stolen and they are out the money. So yes, they can force you to pay.

It's a contract, they still are providing you with a service whether you are using it or not.

The best thing you can do its check your home insurance for personal contents or away from home cover to see if they will cover it.

Yes they can. Try claming Tesco, they are about as liable as 3.

Why do you think you shoudnt have to pay it?

Have you asked them to supply you with a replacement sim - even if they won't give you an actual phone. Then you can at least use the minutes and texts that you are paying for in an old phone - or buy a cheap or second hand phone somewhere.
They may charge for this - but not as much as a replacement i-phone!

All you need to do is get a replacement sim from Three and buy another phone to use it in.
