At one instance or the other, some of us have had to part ways with our mobile devices – probably losing it to thieves or as a result of carelessness. However, irrespective of how one might have lost his/her own, the feeling is far from being dissimilar; a sore demeanor – which could last for some hours, if not days – is not far-fetched as one rues the loss of a once prized possession.
Nevertheless, you can still recover the thing you have the capacity to get back. This is when the reality of your SIM card being a highly valued asset dawns on you, retrieving it becomes a pursuit you undertake with huge commitment. But rather than going to one of the offices of your service provider to join the queue as you seek to retrieve your SIM, you can do it at your own convenience, without any hassle. That is what I am about showing you in this article. So, read on to discover how you retrieve your lost SIM without having to visit any branch of your service provider.
• Purchase a backup SIM card [provided by your network service provider] from an accredited local shop. Do not insert the card immediately.
• Use a different line to call the customer care of your network service provider in order to relay the details of your old and new SIM cards. In the course of this (call), you will be asked few questions like your ‘most frequently called numbers’, ‘the day you lost your SIM card’ and some other relevant questions.
• Provided you answered these questions correctly, your line should be ready within the next 12 hours.
