2. Suspend your SIM

Call or chat your mobile carrier immediately and ask them to suspend the SIM. This stops anyone from receiving your SMS verification codes.

3. Sign out remotely

From another device, sign in to Google and go to myaccount.google.com/security → "Your devices" → sign out of the stolen phone.

Common Questions

How do I recover my Google account after my phone was stolen? ▾

Go to g.co/recover from any other device and follow the prompts. Google will ask for your last known password, a recovery email or phone, or verification from a device where you're still signed in. Answer as accurately as you can — accuracy matters more than speed.

What should I do first if my phone is stolen? ▾

Lock or erase it remotely via Find My Device, suspend the SIM with your carrier, and sign out of your Google account from another logged-in device — in that order.

I don't have my phone number or recovery email anymore. Can I still recover my account? ▾

Yes, but it takes longer. Google's recovery form still works without a phone or recovery email if you can answer account-specific questions accurately (approximate creation date, old passwords, frequent contacts). Submit it even if you're unsure of every answer.

How long does Google account recovery take? ▾

Minutes, if you still have a recovery phone, email, or trusted signed-in device. Without those, manual review can take a few hours to several days since Google verifies ownership carefully.

Should I file a police report? ▾

Yes, especially if the phone had banking apps or saved passwords. Carriers often require a police report for SIM replacement, and it creates a record if the account is misused later.
