Contract woes

You don't need to know the exact time for reporting the handset stolen to the network. They will block the handset and it will become unusable and unsaleable.

You decide if you want to report the sim lost/stolen. If there is no chance that he will be paying the bills there is no point in keeping it active. Make sure that it is your address that it is registered with the provider so that the replacement sim gets sent to this address.

(As has already been said) I think at the very least you should be reporting the handset / sim as lost. Orange should then block any further calls being made. You can always report it as stolen later to get the handset blocked.

i think i would block both Sim and phone or at least have the sim blocked and a new one sent out if she is going to pay for it

1) Also he could have sold the phone and that why he 's not reported it stolen

2) if he is still using the Sim he is racking up a bigger bill for her.

There may well have been an agreement between daughter and boyfriend that he would pay the bills. But a court would have to be satisfied there was a real intention to create a legally binding contract to this effect. Within families there is a (rebuttable) presumption that this is not the case. Not exactly family here, of course.

Best to agree these things in writing where it is expressly stated that the agreement is intended to be legally binding.
