Some Great Tips If Your Mobile Phone is Stolen

By Morten Hansen


Loosing a mobile phone is not a unusual thing for anybody in this world. You have to have heard that your chum or any other person forget his or her phone in a hotel, auto, garden, park. And when he or she goes to pick up phone, mobile phone isn't there. Now what to do if your mobile phone is nicked.

In numerous states like Uk, there is mobile phone database, which can forestall mislaid mobile phones from being used on any mobile network, so these robbed mobile phones are meaningless to any person. This system precisely works like a taken Visa card, if you loose your Mastercard, you just make a telephone call to your requisite bank to deactivate your credit card. Similar is the case with mobile phones, you call your service supplier and give them a particular number to deactivate your stolen mobile phone. This system applies to both prepay and postpaid packages.

Every mobile in this world has a novel code called as International mobile clobber identity (IMEI Number). This is a singular serial number of every cell telephone. If you provide this serial number to your network operator, they can deactivate your stolen mobile phone. Nobody can use your cell-phone whether or not the person who has nicked your mobile, insert new Sim in the mobile. This mobile will be worthless for all networks or service suppliers. All mobile network operators will deactivate or disable the telephone by reference to this unique IMEI number of the mobile phone.

Now question is how to get this IMEI number? This number can typically be found under the battery of mobile phone (looking something similar to 087489/99/125486/9). You can get this number from the phone software, by entering following useful code. Simply write down on your mobile phone the following code.* 0 6

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen after pressing send button, or in some telephones it comes automatically just by writing * 0 6. So when you purchase a mobile phone, get this code from the battery or simply write above code on your phone and get IMEI number.

After this, record this 15 digit IMEI number and your telephone number on your personal note book, place this book at a secure place and that's it. Now suppose if you lost your phone, make a call to your service provider and give them your telephone number and this actual key,i.e IMEI number. They may deactivate your stolen mobile phone. You most likely won't get your telephone back, but at the very least you know that whoever robbed it can't use/sell it either. If everybody do this, there would be no point in people purloining mobile phones

Remember your mobile phone is extremely valuable for you. You'll have vital info stored in it. So take care of your mobile phones. Do not use your mobile in crowded areas or where you may feel dangerous. Government is attempting to encourage mobile phone companies to give more options for improving mobile phone security.

So remember this straightforward code * 0 6. Tell all of your friends and colleagues to get IMEI number with help from this code. If everyone simply follow this end of making mobile secure, listen to me, nobody will try and filch your mobile phone.
