First of all you need to know your mobile phone serial number on your phone.
Press these code to retrieve the serial number:
* # 0 6 #
A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is the serial number of your mobile phone. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
When your mobile phone get stolen, you can call up your service provider and give them the serial number of your mobile phone.
They, then will be able to block your mobile phone even if the thief changes the SIMCARD, Your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't be getting your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use nor sell it either.
If everyone does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones. But there’s another delicate way that is to enable the GPRS. This will enable the service provider to pin point your mobile phone once activated and calling the POLICE to get it. But you need to lodge a police report to catch the thieves.
