Lost Device
If your phone has been lost or stolen, notify your network service provider and ask for the SIM card to be disabled (network support is required). This can avoid economic loss caused by unauthorized use.

In some countries/states, dialing or receiving calls while driving is illegal, regardless of hands-free status.
