ewtLost phone last night, came home, got it barred.
Have phoned police, insurance company. I'm covered for a new handset and sim (although I have to pay for the sim and send the receipt to the insurancecompany - what is up with that?), and for any calls made between when I lost it and when I barred it. I'm really glad I had in insured, now. Insurance = good.
They are all slow with forms and things.
I have to go to the store and get the form faxed to the store (because it is that or they post it to me - they cannot e-mail it to me), fill it out there, and hopefully get a new phone.
I also have to pay an excess of £50. Grah, but I suppose it is better than buying a new phone outright. I'm not sure. I'll see what they have to offer. I may just take the best of the 'suitable' replacements, and wait a few months and make a nice, thought-out decision about which phone to get.
Today is Buy Nothing Day, too. I feel like some sort of traitor, but I need a phone, there is an ad in the newspaper for people to phone me for rooms in this house and guess which number it has on it? GRAH!
It is reported as lost, rather than stolen, because nobody bumped into me or anything like that, I have no reason to believe it was nicked. There is a possibility that someone will find it and turn it in to the police. If that happens then I have to run around un-doing everything, or get done for insurance fraud.
If you have my mobile number you can't phone me on it right now; you may or may not be able to do so starting sometime in the next few days.
