    Lost my phone a little while ago...

    I didn't notice for a few days, and was panicking that I'd have a bill for a zillion pounds run up in a Mogadishu international phone café. Anyway, turns out that the person who swiped it lacked the imagination to run up more than £3 worth of 118118 calls. And I was due a new phone on my contract, so not so bad.

    Amusingly, he has given my number to various people and then not changed it back.

    To date I have:

    - Ignored repeated texts about his methadone appointments and his prescription is now cancelled, as he keeps missing them.
    - Explained to his Housing Association and Probation Officer that I am not in fact xxxx xxxx, but the person whose phone he stole. No, please don't apologise, you didn't steal it, but it would be helpful if you removed my number from your systems.

    What fun!

      Classic, the probation officer may well be amused

        Don't be ridiculous. I'm hardly going to waste my own time.

          What worries me is how poor Ryan will cope without his methadone.

            Slightly confused here. Did you get a new SIM card with the same number with your new phone?

              Yes. The other plus is that the cold calling agents got someone on their own level to speak to for once.
