Mobile Phone Theft

Mobile phone theft is a big problem these days, here is some information that may help you.

Just type into your phone the following :-

*#06#

This will display a fifteen digit number, unique to your phone. Write this number down in a safe place. In the unfortunate event that your phone is lost or stolen, contact your supplier Movistar, Vodaphone etc and give them the fifteen digit number. They will disable your phone forever, rendering it completely useless to anyone. Whilst this does not get your phone back, if everyone with a mobile phone did this, the theft of these items would probably become a thing of the past.
You can also obtain a new Sim card with your old phone number on it, I did this myself and at no cost. Also available are small devices for about 10 Euro which will store all the information on your phone, then should your phone be lost or stolen, you can transfer all this information onto your new phone.
