Protect Your Phone

If your phone is stolen, report your number to your network operator and the police – the handset can then be barred on all networks and will be useless to thieves.

You can help protect your phone if you:

REGISTER   

Your phone with your network operator.

RECORD      

Your IMEI number and your phone number and keep these in a safe place separate from your phone.  Your IMEI number (15 digit serial number) can be accessed by keying *#06# into most phones or by looking behind the battery of your phone.

REPORT

The number of your stolen phone to your network operator and the police as quickly as you can.  It can now be cancelled immediately like a stolen credit card.

REMAIN ALERT      

Your phone is a valuable item.  When you are out be aware of your surroundings and don’t use your phone in crowded areas or where you might feel unsafe.

If your phone is stolen, please give these details to the police:

• Fascia details
• Phone number
• Serial/IMEI number
• PIN Number

KEEP THESE DETAILS IN A SAFE PLACE, SEPARATE FROM YOUR PHONE.
