The Options you have after losing your cell phone

Many people treasure those small devices called cell phones. They probably have stored some of the most important information in them. They may contain wonderful photographs and a large number of mp3 music. All this they collected over a long period of time.

On this fateful day, as you are waiting for public transport, this guy just comes and snatches the phone off your hand. Or worse still, this guy decides to mug you and runs away with your mobile phone. After losing your mobile phone what options do you have.

You can go to the police and report the case. Now we all know how the police will ask very many questions to see whether you are actually telling the truth. Some of them usually demand that you give them a ‘small incentive’ so that they can speed up the process of locating your phone. I agree that it is good to report to the police, but by the time the investigation starts, it would be too late.

If you know the serial/IMEI number of you phone, you can send it to the mobile phone service providers. This will help the service providers block your phone so that people don’t use it. But you want your phone back with all its wonderful accessories, photos and mp3 music. And how often do people want to know the serial number of their phones? (Just in case you want to know and store yours, you can dial *#06#).

You can also decide to install mobile tracking software on your phone. This software will help track where your cell phone is. In short, what happens is that when you lose your phone and someone replaces your sim card, a text message is sent to another number that you had provided during the installation process. The text message has details of the person with your cell phone.
