HOW TO DESTROY A STOLEN PHONE WHEN YOUR PHONE IS LOST

There’s a way out for every problem. The IMEI number might just be the solution we are all looking for. IMEI means International Mobile Equipment Identity. It is a 15 digit number that uniquely identifies your phone and it is peculiar to a particular phone even if it is the same model. Apart from using it for identification purposes, this number can be used to block your handset when it is stolen. This will render the phone invalid and the thief will not be able to use or sell it anymore. You can get this number now from your phone by pressing *#06# on your phone.

This is how to use the IMEI number. Report the stolen handset to your service provider together with your GSM number and the IMEI number. As your GSM provider blocks your line, they will also block your phone using the IMEI number so that no SIM card can ever work on the phone again. However, if you recover your set and want to unlock it, you will need to use the IMEI number to unblock your phone. On the other hand, a stolen phone can be destroyed using a data base machine known as a centralized equipment identity register (CEIR) that are accessible by all GSM providers.
