I got this great email from a friend recently and after having 2 mobiles stolen from me this year, within the space of a month, I needed to do something to at least make me feel better when my phone was taken.

Read the instructions below on how to have your phone disabled after it is stolen. Cos when the buying stops, so will the stealing!

———————————————————————

How 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.

When your phone gets stolen, you can phone BMobile 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 knows this information and does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

Please spread this useful information to everyone you know.
