Hi ​@LadyLatimer

 

I’m really sorry to hear this I can only imagine how upsetting it must be to have a brand-new phone stolen.

 

I’ve just sent you a private message so we can look into this for you and get a better understanding of what’s happened.

 

To find it, click your profile picture in the top-right corner and select ‘Private Messages’.

I’ll speak to you there and we’ll do our best to help.

 

Thanks.

Hi ​@Urheroab_10,

 

Sorry to hear about your lost phone, that’s really unfortunate.

 

We’re not able to provide the device serial number from our systems. This information would normally be found on the original device box or packaging.

 

However, what we can provide is the IMEI number, which is the unique identifier for your handset and is typically what networks and police use for tracking or blocking devices.

 

If you’d like, our Customer Service team via Live Chat can help you retrieve your IMEI and support you further with blocking your SIM if needed.

 

Regards,
