Called the network, they've blocked the sim, and sending me a new one.

Phone however, they cant block. Is there any way that I can?

If you know the IMEI you may be able to (usually on the box as well as the actual phone iirc)

Wouldn't be surprised if it can still be unlocked one way or another though even once it is blocked.

I think they'd still be able to access all that stuff regardless if it was banned from the networks...?

Yes they would

tbh keeping notes of such sensitivity on an unsecured/unencrypted device is silly anyway. Especially if its just in a simple notes app which has no encryption.

Nah it was in Tasks & Notes on an MS exchange like app. Its only account names, and sort codes, so can't do much apart from set up direct debits.

Just worried thats all, i've told my bank.

Was it an iPhone? If so they can track it

Aye it was, but it was on pay as you go if that makes any difference.

Mobile Me can trace it, not sure if you need it before it goes missing though, but look into it. But if you dont you get a free trial.

Why don't you use an encrypted task list app? Plenty of them about on the iphone, i use one on my Android phone which encrypts everything in 256bit AES for sensitive data.
