Lost or Stolen Mobile Telephone
Any new mobile cellular telephone comes with:
- A SIM Card with number. This is the telephone number. 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's unique identification number
The IMEI number is usually printed beneath the battery or can be found by typing the following:
Enter on the keypad | * # 0 6 # |
Note the number and keep it separate from the telephone. If the phone 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. If the theft is reported to the police, supply the IMEI number.
