How to frustrate people who steal your MOBILE!

It is worth taking down that serial number.

Before anyone loses his/her mobile phone, one should first check the
serial number of the phone by keying in *#06# where a 15-digit number
will appear on the screen. Please record it down and keep it for
reference.

In case the phone is lost, the rightful owner can call the
Service provider to disable the phone by providing the serial number.

That means, the person who took the phone cannot use it at all even if
they insert a new SIM card. If everyone knows this procedure, there
would not be much use taking away someone's phone. Please feel free to
circulate this message.
