Updated October 12, 2026
Practical steps to protect your number and request help after losing a SIM.
Contact your mobile operator through a verified official helpline, app or service centre as soon as possible. Ask about blocking the lost SIM and the identity checks required for a replacement.\n\nSecure important accounts that use your mobile number for recovery, especially email and financial accounts. Do not share OTPs with callers claiming they can recover your number. Keep your support reference number for follow-up.
