Lost your cell phone while traveling? Here's what to do.

Losing or having your cell phone stolen while traveling can be stressful, but there are steps you can take to protect your information and potentially recover your device. Before traveling, secure your phone with a passcode or lock screen verification and set up phone locating features like Apple's Find My app. If your phone goes missing, try calling or messaging it to see if someone answers. Use phone-location features to track its whereabouts and take action accordingly. If you can't find your phone, remotely lock it and consider wiping its data. Change passwords for any apps or accounts on the phone and notify your cell phone carrier. Comprehensive travel insurance may offer reimbursement for lost or stolen phones, but coverage limits and exclusions may apply. File a police report if your phone is stolen and provide it to the insurance company.
