Best Answer

If it's a postpaid phone (i.e. you receive a bill at the end of the month), yes. In that case, the phone number is tied to an account, not a particular phone.

In the case of prepaid, you might or might not be able to retain your number. It depends on the provider.

Is it your phone or somebody else's?

If it is your phone: go to the phone store and reactivate it..

If it is not your phone: the police can assume that you stole a phone. They can find you if the phone has GPS.

can i report my phone missing ?

There is a way to report your missing cell phone. Contact your wireless provider and let them know you have lost your cell phone. Call as soon as you can and have your service suspended. If your cell phone was used after you lost it, you are still responsible for any charges made. If you haven't already done so, you may want to check back at the store you lost your cell phone in and talk to the manager, someone may have found your phone.
