Why would you have to to that? They just block the old SIM when they
replace it.

Cousin buys new SIM for phone you've "lost".

New SIM logs onto the network and identifies the phone which is promptly
blocked as the IMEI belongs to a phone that has been reported stolen.

Since most smartphones can skype over wifi thats probably no great loss to
someone who's got it on the cheap or even free.
