Tips - Making phone stealer feel stupid

     Has anyone of you have any experience of your precious cellphone been stolen away from you? Yeah its feel like sh*t. I myself feel that a few times before. Only if I know this tip before this.

     Do you know that each cell phone have this what so called IMEI serial number that is unique for every cell phone. To display the phone IMEI serial number, just dial this number.

* # 0 6 #

Without spaces. (star hash zero six hash)

     The number that shows on the display now is a 15 digits unique number acting as an ID number for wach phone produced all over the world. Write the numbers down and keep it safe where you can find it back afterwards.

     My advice you can put some note somewhere inside the phone (behind battery cover) telling that you have the IMEI serial number and its no use to steal this phone. Funny buts it may save you from loosing your precious expensive phone.

     Now even if you lost your phone, you can make a report to the phone line service provider. For example Maxis, Celcom or Digi. Give the the IMEI number to them so they can block the use of any communication in and out from the phone. Even if the stealer change the SIM Card, he wont be able to use it anyway.

     Even though that you might never get your phone back, with making the phone useless to the stealer is enough. If every phone user know this tips and write down their IMEI serial number and do a report if the phone was stolen or lost, we might reduce such crime of phone stealing because the phone won’t be able to be used or sell. Well at least we can make the phone stealer feel stupid for stealing phone.

     What are you waiting for? Do it now and please forward this message to others.. face5

  4. Actually, i’ve done the exact thing, write down my IMEI number when i first bought a phone for my wife. And when It got lost / stolen, I’ve tried contacting her network provider to block the use of the phone by means you stated above. Guess wut? the NP just stated “we do not offer the blocking IMEI number service”, sheesh… that truly sucked, just my luck I think, face2
