Welcome to the community,

You can do this either via the EE App by clicking on manage then Mobile and Sim and scrolling down to settings to order a replacement SIM card or go to an EE high street store to get a replacement SIM card, but I would definitely let EE know so they can put a block on your card, otherwise if someone found it, they could use it and run expenses on your SIM card.

@Sauravlimbu , you block it, but you get a replacement SIM card, that is all, you will not lose your number, as it is the IMEI that gets blocked.

Do SIMs have an IMEI? I thought it was that the phone has it.

IMSI = International Mobile Subscriber Identity, which is the SIM serial number.

IMEI = International Mobile Equipment Identity, which is a device serial number. Dual-SIM phones have one per SIM-slot
