Lost contract phone??
Hiya,
I lost my handbag last night and my phone was in it. Its on an 18 mnth 02 conract and think it expires in about four months. I rang up and cancelled my phone but because i dont have insurance i have to buy a new handset. So do i like go and buy a pay and go phone and ask them to send me a new simcard and put that into it? And will the sim card be on my same contract?? Im so confused by it all! What do i do!!x x x |

You need to ask O2 to send you a new SIM card with the same mobile number on the same account.
Because you don't have insurance, you'll need to buy an O2 Pay & Go phone. Then, put the new SIM they send you into the PAYG phone. You'll still be entitled to an upgrade in 4 months time, but it will be based on the phone you lost, so perhaps it would be best to invest in a cheap phone and then let O2 offer you an expensive one for free when the time comes to upgrade. You don't want to go and buy a Pay & Go phone now for £200 and then have O2 offer you a £150 one at your upgrade time. |

Check your home insurance. Your phone might be covered on that.

I rang T-Mob (one2one in thoes days) and they offered me cut price handsets. They said these handsets were reconditioned phones that people had trialed for a week and then sent them back. I think I only paid £10 for a decent Nokia handset. |

Unless it's actually added as an extra it is not normally covered on your contents insurance. I just added my N95 to my contents insurance and the premium is £28 per year. Not bad compared to other insurance I checked out. Same amount of cover, but £50 excess as on rest of the policy.

Not always, my policy automatically includes items carried with you up to £1000 (in case of mugging and all that) for MP3s players, camera etc. I asked did it include mobile phones, and it does.

All I'm saying is that it's worth asking. Mine is a standard contents insurance policy, and I'm covered without having asked for it. That's all.
