Mobile phones

This is how you can help protect yourself from mobile theft:

  • Protect your phone – Don’t leave your phone unattended, out of your sight, or left on a table. When you have finished with it, put it away. Ensure you obtain your phone’s IMEI number (this can be obtained by pressing *#06#). You need this information if the phone is lost or stolen. Use your phone’s inbuilt security devices such as SIM locking and PIN locking mechanisms.
  • Record – Register your phone’s details on an accredited mobile phone database. This helps police to identify you as the rightful owner.
  • Tracking – Consider installing a tracking application on your smartphone; this could help trace your phone if stolen.
