They'll deactivate the SIM card so that whoever has your phone can't use it. You'll still have to make the monthly payments until it's paid off.

If you're renting the phone, you'll have to make the monthly payments and pay off the phone since you don't have a phone to return.

Hopefully you have insurance on the phone, otherwise you are in a tough spot.

If YOU have insured it you will have to pay an EXCESS and it will be replaced. If it later turns up and you've sold it then you could end up with a criminal record will could affect you for years.

After you report the phone missing it'll be disabled remotely which unless you are a member of the Israli Secret Service you'll never be able to re-enable! If you've sold it on and the person you sold it on to comes after you, then you could have some pretty pissed off buyer who could end up chasing you through the courts for their money.

Just pretend this is a car and not a phone, the consequences are pretty similar to stealing a rental car. The phone companies are not idiots - many of the people who attempt to defraud them are!

They will blacklist the imei which will make it so the phone can't work on the cellular network. Also you will be required to keep paying for the phone. Just because you lost it doesn't mean you aren't still responsible for paying for it
