Lost/Stolen Phone - Fido

I'm sure this has come up before, but I as well had the unfortunate incident where my iPhone 3G went missing and I cannot find it anywhere. I have a feeling it got stolen because I never turn my phone off, but yet when I called my phone the phone goes straight to the answering service.

My 3-year plan is with Fido. I presume that I cannot get a new phone at $199 with Fido? What do most people do in situations like this? I have now reported it lost or stolen on the Fido web site.

MacBook (mid-2006). Intel Core Duo 1.83 GHz, Mac OS X (10.5.6), iPhone 3G

The $199 price you paid is Fido's subsidized or discounted price for the iPhone, and doubtful that Fido will sell you another iPhone at their subsidized price until you fulfill your existing contract term for the subsidy you already received for the iPhone that was lost or stolen. They will probably sell you another iPhone at the full or non-subsidized price, but you need to contact Fido to determine your options.
