I have lost my phone in Benidorm, think it may have been in a taxi. Can anyone help, how do I contact the taxi company.

Firstly I bet you're a person who puts their phone in your back pocket. 

You have probably been a victim of the highly skilled local pickpockets who operate around Benidorm. Phones sticking out of back pockets are a magnet to them. 

If you think you lost it in a local taxi the ask a driver to radio through to control and see if its been handed in. They will also give you the company phone number for you to enquire. 

If you get no joy then report it to the police for a crime number.

I didn't say TYPE of person!!

We get posters on here all the time saying they have "lost" their phone.....

They lose their phones because they either have them sticking half way out their back pockets or leave them on show next to their drinks. Benidorm pickpockets are extremely skilled in slight of hand and relieving a person of their phones and make a fortune every week. 

Not judgemental but just being realistic about how some holidaymakers don't take enough care.....
