Subject: FW: How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone!

To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the
following digits on
your phone:

* # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number
is unique to your
handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.
Should your phone get
stolen, you can phone your service provider and give
them this code. They
will then be able to block your handset so even if the
thief changes the SIM
card your phone 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 does this, there would be no point in
people stealing mobile
phones.

Please spread this useful information around.

Great. But I was told the facility is yet to be introduced in Nigeria by the GSM service providers. The last time I lost my phone ( so far I've managed to lose three :oops: ) I tried that but it couldn't be effected. May be it works now.
