Sorry to hear about your phone, i had a simliar incident happen to me once but i had dropped my phone while getting out of the car. I didnt know it at the time and i was searching for my phone called my number and it was ringing so i thought oh it must be in the car.
When i reached the car it was not there, so i called myself again and it was switched off, so my thief probably heard the phone ring the first time and though (this is my lucky day).

Just like you i had to replace my sim card and got a new phone what is really irritating is that you have lost all of your contacts!!

Let them steal the phone just leave the sim card its such a hassle!!

Sorry about your phone. If it makes you feel better, last year I literally didn’t have the same phone for more than three consecutive weeks all year. They kept either breaking, got lost, or got stolen. Expensive year, but thankfully I’ve had this one for about 3 months now!

Hi Katy,

I went to Etisalat last night after calling in the morning to get my replacement SIM card. I told them my phone was stolen but (not) surprisingly, the man on the counter didn’t bother at all. No reaction – like this kind of thing is a normal day to day occurrence here?

Your friend was lucky to have his phone back. Yay, to Dubai Police for helping him!

I wish it would be the same for my case.

My friend thought he lost his phone on night in a taxi. The taxi driver came back and let us look for it, but it wasn’t there. He texted the phone “please return, no questions asked.” Then he called Etisalat and told them his phone was lost. At 5:00 the next morning, the Dubai police called him and returned the phone! Turns out they stopped the taxi driver and searched his pockets and found two phones. One was my friend’s phone! One thing we couldn’t figure out though was…how did they finger the taxi driver? How did they know the phone was with him? Maybe there is a tracking device. Good luck on finding your phone. Maybe the Dubai police will do some fancy detective work!
