Solved: Re: Telstra Lost Phone - Telstra CrowdSupport

Forrest

Hi, I handed in my my phone in for repair at a Telstra store a number of weeks ago and Telstra now acknowledge that somewhere between the store and the various repair centers the handset has been lost. I'm part way though a 24 month contract. Do I have grounds to have the entire contract terminated or will I have to accept a replacement handset and stay locked into the contract? Any advice anyone has would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

If they provide you with a working handset of the same model in a similar condition then you wouldn't have grounds to seek a termination of your contract.

One other thing to remember is that your contract is a SERVICE contract. So it's the SIM and associated service(s) that are contracted to Telstra, not a phone. You own that from the moment you sign up, even if you are paying it off via an MRO.

If you've found a solution then don't forget to mark that post accordingly.

Hi beverley_joy,

Are you able to clarify what has been happening?

Also do you have StayConnected as part of your Mobile service?
