I could probably go a week before I noticed that my phone had no service.
There doesn't seem to be much security at all in Australia. Enter the number and date of birth (and contract number, if it's not a prepaid phone) and wait a couple of hours.

Fair enough, not everyone is checking their phone every 5 minutes. But otoh if you wouldn't realize it within a day or two you probably aren't using it for Apple pay, 2fa and whatnot so you're not a likely target anyways.
