1) THINGS YOU SHOULD DO BEFORE YOU LOSE YOUR MOBILE PHONE
Before anyone loses his / her mobile phone, they should first check the serial number(IMEI) of the phone by keying in [*#06#].
A 13-digit number will appear on the screen. Please record it down and keep it for reference.
In case the phone is lost, the rightful owner can call the service provider (Singtel, M1, Starhub, etc) to disable the phone by providing the serial number.
That means, the person who took the phone cannot use it at all even if they change into a new SIM card.
If everyone knows this procedure, there would not be much use taking away someone's lost phone.
2) MOBILE USERS - NUMBER CAN BE DIALED WITHOUT SIM CARD DURING EMERGENCY.
The Emergency Number worldwide for GSM Mobile is 112 and not 999. You can dial 112 even without a SIM Card.
If you find yourself out of coverage area of your mobile network and there is an emergency, dial 112 and the mobile will search any existing network to establish the emergency number for you.
Do share this important info with others too. Hope you'll never need to use it though! And interestingly... This number 112 can be dialed even while the keypad is locked.

Wait for few hours to see if the finder intends to return it or not. If you call your mobile phone number and the person doesn't answer your call, disable your phone so that he cannot use it for himself.
