How can I report a lost or stolen phone?
Question :
How can I report a lost or stolen phone?
Answer :
If your phone is lost or stolen, you can suspend your wireless service to protect against unauthorized charges. Once suspended, no incoming or outgoing calls can be placed or received using your phone. Data services, access to voicemail and access to call forwarding will also be suspended. Suspending your wireless service does not release your wireless phone number - it will be retained for you. You can report your phone as lost or stolen by logging into myWireless Account and following these instructions:
From the myWireless Account home page, select My Services.
Select the Suspend/Reactivate link in the right hand navigation section under Phone/Device Support .
Review the list of lines on your account. If a line is not already suspended, you'll see Active in the Status column.
Click the Suspend button that corresponds to your lost or stolen phone line.
Confirm your transaction.
If you have Wireless Phone Insurance, you can file a replacement request simply by calling 1-888-562-8662.
If you do not have Wireless Phone Insurance, visit the following topic for options on replacing your phone: How do I replace a lost or stolen phone? To reactivate a line:
