Lost or stolen device

If your device has been lost or stolen, we're available 24 hours a day to help. We can block your device, and send you a new sim with your existing number.

A crime reference number from the police.
A loss reference number from the police or a relevant authority (e.g. Transport for London).
The name of the police station where you reported your phone lost/stolen, and the name and badge number of the officer you spoke to.

Replace your phone

If you’re counting your pennies but need a replacement, you could get one of our Perfectly fine phones. They’re second-hand and have been a bit more loved, but are still working well.

Theres no cracks on the screen
They might have superficial scratches on the back, sides and screen
There will be no more than five deep scratches or chips up to 2mm in length

They’re available over the phone for existing customers. Give us a call on 202 from an O2 mobile, or 0344 8090202 from a landline which is charged at the standard UK rate.
