Recover Lost Mobile SIM

Lost your mobile?..there is no time to loose..

Firstly you should contact your service provider Airtel, Vodaphone, etc and block outgoing facility...it would be activated in 24 hours. This you should do especially if you have a post paid connection.

Next to get a new SIM (of the same number), u need to give a FIR (Vodafone & BSNL) and ID proof at the nearest Mobile Service Provider Center.

For Vodaphone customers, even if you are hesitant to visit the police station you must go through the proces so that you can contine to recive calls on that number. Be sure to make the FIR the soonest otherwise the police will take you to task.If a lot of time does pass and you want the same number then maybe you should say you lost it a day ago just to avoid hassles. Another thing to be considered while making the FIR is to make sure the police station comes under the same jurisdiction of where your phone went missing. This means that if you are not aware of where exactly your phone is lost/stolen....like in a bus, etc, you may have to just pinpoint the exact area where the phone may have been stolen. This you would have to put in you application to the police to get your FIR.

In the case of Airtel customers you dont have to go though this hassle. ( though I had to 3 yrs back) All you have to do is to visit the nearest Airtel office and submit your ID and address proof, 1 passport size photo with Rs.49 and your sim would be activated in 4 hrs after doing this.
