Report a device as lost or stolen
It’s important you report your device as lost or stolen as soon as you know it’s gone.
- call 150 from an EE phone
- call 07953 966 150 from any other phone (at standard rates)
- call +44 7953 966 150 from abroad (at international call rates)
You can call us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to report your device as lost or stolen.
Once you've reported your device as lost or stolen:
- we can block your device so no-one else can use it on our network, and suspend your account (you can add a password in case you find it later)
- we can send you another SIM card (charges will apply for delivery) or you can pop into one of our stores to get one for free
- if you have itemised billing on your account, you can log in to EE where you can view your most recently dialled numbers
Stolen SIM-free mobile handset?

Need to know
An International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) is a 15-digit number that's unique to your device. It's a way to identify that specific device. Think of it as your device's National Insurance number.
Where can I find my IMEI?
The easiest way is to dial *#06* on your device's keypad. Pretend you're calling someone who has that as their phone number. This will pop up a box with the IMEI in it.
Once you find your IMEI - keep a record of it somewhere as it will help us if your mobile is lost or stolen.
Possible costs if your device is lost or stolen
If you let us know within 24 hours and somebody else uses your device while it's lost or stolen, you’ll only be responsible for paying a maximum of £100 for any unauthorised usage that’s not part of your allowance. We’ll cover the cost of any charges over £100.
If you do this and still get a bill for over £100, call us on 150 from an EE phone to check you’re eligible for the cap and arrange for the charges to be credited back.
Please be aware: if you don’t tell us within 24 hours of your device being lost or stolen, you’ll be liable to pay any additional charges incurred.
I have insurance and protection for my device
If your phone has been lost or stolen, please give us a call on 07953 966 250 as soon as possible, so we can limit any unauthorised use. We will discuss your options with you based on your coverage.
