    Hi, you have signed a contract for a certain period of time, this is quite seperate from the issue of losing the phone.

    Ring T-mobile and ask them to cancel the sim, they will probably charge about £10 to supply a replacement.

    As has already been said, just hope that in the 3 days that you didnt inform T-mobile ,the phone hasn't been used to run up a massive bill, which will be your responsibility due to non-notification.

    Buy yourself a cheap PAYG phone so that you can use the replacement sim when it arrives, to see out the contract.

    Are you serious? Losing your phone does not void your contract. If it did, everyone would report their phone as lost/stolen every time they wanted to get out of their contract.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
