Praise! Tesco mobile (lost phone)

skintpaul

My mobile is actually still somewhere in the house, though as battery run out, calling it is no good now..

A quick call got phone and SIM blocked, and a new SIM to be sent out,-

with same number, AND the remaining call credit transferred!

So you got a new sim and keep the number and remaining credit.

Why you, STILL have to find the phone.Which is in YOUR house?

All you had to do was find the phone and charge it. The sim does not die if no power and you don't lose any numbers or things stored on your phone.

So pray tell me, what was the point of calling provider?

I'd hazard a guess that the OP has a spare phone in which they can put the replacement SIM into, so there is no rush to find the missing phone :-)

They would need a spare phone they've just had that one blocked.

Did you get the phone blocked or just the sim??

Presumably the phone is so very lost that the OP has tried and failed to find it, and needs to use the same number as that's the one people will be trying to contact them on. I know full well I've got things in my home that I can't find anywhere and haven't seen for years even though I'm rather tidy so I can understand how this happens!

I did this with some cards when going on holidays last year as I didn't want to lose them. Found them a year later in the cupboard, they were that safe even I couldn't find them

My Brother found a 4G phone last week. He left the phone active in order that the owner would phone and he could reunite them.

The whole weekend passed with no calls, 3 days later texts were sent. Whether or not this was the owner asking for it we could not tell, as the phone needs unlocking to read\reply to texts.

By day 6 the phone battery died, we can only assume they were smart enough to block the phone\sim but it now remains in the bottom of a drawer.
