Losing a mobile phone is not a rare thing for anyone in this world. You must have heard that your friend or anyone else forgets their phone in a hotel, car, garden, park. and when he or she goes to pick up the phone, the mobile phone is not there. Now what to do if your mobile phone is stolen.
In many countries like the UK, there is a mobile phone database, which can prevent lost or stolen mobile phones from being used on any mobile network, so these stolen mobile phones are worthless to anyone. This system works exactly like a stolen credit card, whenever you lose your credit card, just make a phone call to your required bank to deactivate your credit card. Similar is the case with mobile phones, you call your service provider and give them a specific number to deactivate your stolen mobile phone. This system applies to both prepaid and postpaid packages.
Every mobile in this world has a unique code called International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI Number). This is a unique serial number of each mobile phone. If you provide this serial number to your network operator, they will deactivate your stolen mobile phone. Nobody can use your mobile phone even if the person who has stolen your mobile, insert a new Sim in the mobile. This mobile will be useless for all networks or service providers. All mobile network operators will deactivate or disable the phone by reference to this unique mobile phone IMEI number.
Now the question is how to get this IMEI number? This number can usually be found under the mobile phone battery (looks like 087489/99/125486/9). You can also get this number from the phone software by entering the following helpful code. Simply type the following code into your mobile phone.* # 0 6 #
A 15-digit code will appear on the screen after you hit the send button, or on some phones it comes automatically just by typing * # 0 6 #. So whenever you buy a mobile phone get this code from the battery or just type the above code on your phone and get the IMEI number.
After this, register this 15-digit IMEI number and your phone number in your personal notebook, put this notebook in a safe place and you are good to go. Now suppose you lost your phone, make a call to your service provider and give them your phone number and this particular key i.e. IMEI number. They will deactivate your stolen mobile phone. You probably won’t get your phone back, but at least you know whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either. If everyone does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.
Remember that your mobile phone is very valuable to you. You might have very important data stored on it. So take care of your mobile phones. Do not use your mobile phone in crowded areas or where you may feel unsafe. The government is trying to encourage mobile phone companies to provide more options to improve mobile phone security.
So remember this simple code *#06#. Tell all your friends and colleagues to get IMEI number with the help of this code. If we all follow this advice to make mobile secure, trust me, no one will try to steal your mobile phone.
