How to disable a stolen Mobile Phone

Key in *#06# on your mobile phone. A 15 digit number will appear on the screen. Its your mobile phone’s serial number. Note down it somewhere in safe place. Should your mobile get stolen contact your Service Provider and give them 15 digit code. They will then block your handset. Even if the thief changes the SIM card ,your mobile set will be totally useless. You probably won’t get  your phone back ,but at least you know that whoever stole it can’t use/sell it either.

If everybody did this , there would be no point in stealing mobile phones. So let us do it.

THIS TIP YOU MAY BE KNOWING BUT  IS THERE ANYTHING WRONG IN REPEATING THE GOOD THINGS ?

Whether this tip works or not  I am not aware. I hope it will.

My friend, this will certainly work for Nokia phones. But the problem is no service provider will accept your request to block a mobile....
May be give a try for your phone itself as a trial ;)

I lost a phone some time back and tried the same trick with Hutch in Mumbai. The operator refused to block the same even after verifying my identity saying that this facility was not available in India...
