If you wanted to purchase a new phone from them, with all the rebates and hidden stuff, then you might have to do a contract change. The corporate-owned stores seem to have greater flexibility beyond that of the 'agent' stores.

I strongly suggest you call them and have it disabled for the time being. If it was lost/stolen, a whole lot of airtime can be burned up, which could be your responsibility. After a whole lot of rigamarole, you may get the charges, if any, reversed, but why subject yourself to that hassle? Treat this like a lost/stolen credit card. If your son finds his phone, it would be a simple task to change back to it.
