How to find your mobile hand set if it gets stolen

Hi,

I’ve got an interesting fact to share. Nowadays each one of us carries a Hi Fi mobile device and always fears that it may be stolen.

Each mobile carries a unique IMEI i.e. International Mobile Identity No which can be used to track your mobile anywhere in the world.

This is how it works!!!!!!

1. Dial *#06# from your mobile.

2. Your mobile shows a unique 15 digit.

3. Note down this no anywhere but except your mobile as this is the no. which will help trace your mobile in case of a theft.

4. Once stolen you just have to mail this 15 digit IMEI no. to cop@vsnl.net

5. No need to go to police.

6. Your Mobile will be traced within next 24 hrs via a complex system of GPRS and internet..

7. You will find where your hand set is being operated even in case your no. is being changed.

I think it will be of use to all IL members
