    Yes, if you are using the origianl sim card the phone was bought with, contact the network it was on and give them the phone numebr and they will then block the sim card and also block the phone with the IMEI number which will make the phone un-useable in the U.K
  • Block it quick before the thief sells it on and then some innocent person loses their cash as well as you losing the phone.
