It is likely that you will need to prove that you owned the mobile phone. Contact Police Scotland by dialling 101 to find out how to report the phone missing. You may be able to report it over the telephone or you may need to report in person to your local police station with a copy of the contract or box for your phone. The police need a record of the IMEI number for your mobile phone so that it can be recognised as your phone if it is handed in or recovered.
The IMEI/serial number on your phone is a number that is unique to your mobile phone. To find out what your IMEI number is type *#06# into your phone.
