Oh that happened to me once. It was 2011 and I had just bought a very expensive phone. I enjoyed it for a few weeks and then I lost it.
So I bought the same one again. I repeat, it was very expensive. But then I lost my wallet so I had no access to my debit card and the bank said they would send me a new one in 5 days but it took them 6 weeks and my car broke down and I couldn't get it repaired without debit card so I had to start catching the train to work so I played with my replacement phone every day on the train.
The trouble is, with no debit card I couldn't order a replacement SIM card so I had to play games and watch videos offline.
After six weeks I had my debit card and got a replacement SIM. Later that afternoon I found my old phone. It had been sitting on the coffee table the whole time. I just hadn't seen it.
