If your device is lost or stolen while you’re overseas, contact Digital Island straight away to block your SIM. If you don’t do this immediately, you will be responsible for all calls made or data used on the device until it’s blocked.
Also if you have stored any passwords or other important information on your device you should immediately take action to change these.

If you return to New Zealand and cannot get service, you will need to use the SIM applications menu and select TNZ.
