Lost or Stolen Mobile Telephones

Any new mobile cellular telephone comes with:

• a SIM Card with number. This is the telephone number for the phone. Access can be protected by personalising the card with a 4 digit PIN number
• an IMEI number (International Mobile Equipment Identity). This is the mobile telephone's unique identification number

The IMEI number protects the owner if their phone is lost or stolen. It is usually printed beneath the battery. Note the number and keep it separate from the mobile. If the mobile is lost or stolen, call the service provider and give them the IMEI number. The service will be suspended and the phone may be traced. When reporting the theft to the police, give them the IMEI number.
