Loosing a mobile phone isn't a uncommon thing for any person in this world. You've got to have heard that your friend or any other person forget their telephone in a hotel, automobile, garden, park. And when she goes to pick up telephone, mobile phone is not there. Now what to do if your mobile phone is stolen.

In several countries like Uk, there's cell telephone database, which can prevent lost or stolen mobile phones from being used on any mobile network, thus these thieved mobile phones are pointless to anybody. This system exactly works like a nicked credit card, when you loose your Visa card, you simply make a phone call to your requisite bank to deactivate your Visa card. Similar is the case with mobile phones, you call your service provider and give them a specific number to deactivate your thieved mobile phone. This system is applicable to both prepay and postpaid packages.

Each mobile in this world has a completely unique code called as World mobile gear 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 robbed mobile phone. No one can use your mobile phone even if the person who has robbed your mobile, insert new Sim in the mobile. This mobile will be pointless for all networks or service providers. All mobile network operators will deactivate or disable the phone by reference to this unique IMEI number of the mobile phone.

Now question is how to get this IMEI number? This number can typically be found under the battery of mobile phone (looking something similar to 087489/99/125486/9). You can get this number from the phone software, by entering following useful code. Simply write down on your mobile phone the following code.* 0 6

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen after pressing send button, or in some telephones it comes automatically just by writing * 0 6. So when you purchase a mobile phone, get this code from the battery or simply write above code on your phone and get IMEI number.

After this, record this 15 digit IMEI number and your telephone number on your personal note book, place this book at a secure place and that's it. Now suppose if you lost your phone, make a call to your service provider and give them your telephone number and this particular key,i.e IMEI number. They will deactivate your nicked mobile phone. You probably won't get your telephone back, but at the least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody do this, there would be no point in folks taking mobile phones
