HOW TO DISABLE YOUR MOBILE PHONE IF IT'S STOLEN

FROM AN EMAIL:

A bit of useful information, just in case you lose your mobile phone or it gets flogged.

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

*#06#

A 15-digit code will appear on your screen.

This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. Should your mobile phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them the code. They will then be able to block your handset so that 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 has stolen it will not be able to use or sell it.

If everybody does this, there will be no point in stealing mobile phones anymore.

Send this to as many people as possible. Please do this now and keep the 15-digit code somewhere safe just in case. This memo will be too late if you only remember to do so after your phone has been stolen.
