Ifyour mobile phoneis lost or stolen you can inform your cell phone provider with your IMEInumber. Your cell phone provider can then put the serial number on a shareddatabase. This list stops this particular phone from registering on any networkand will be useless for anyone even if the mobile phone's SIM cardis changed!

I am really sorry that you were not responded by the Police. There's no other simpler way to track your lost mobile.

Prateek,
The only way you can trace the phone in India is to lodge a complaint with the police and ask them to tell the service provider to trace the phone. You will have to give the IMEI number along with the complaint. And best would be if you contact the helpline of your service provider firstly to block the number and secondly to as them the procedure to trace it or whatever they suggest. Since it is a legal matter, the police has to come into the picture.

prabir, are you in India? the law here says that you must lodge an FIR with the police station where you lost the phone, to include the IMEI number. In the FIR you must ask them to approach the service provider to 1. locate the approximate location of the thief/finder and 2. to block the IMEI number. If you cant use it, why should someone else. The phone could only be used as a paper weight. it is very difficult to find a lost mobile phone unless you ar very lucky. all the best anyway.

the phone will not work what ever sim is put into it because the imei is on a shered database which dosent allow it to connect to a network

You are out of options as far as what you can do now that the phone is out of your possession.
That is why you set up a security code for the phone, so if it is stolen they have a hard time of using it.

Sorry about your loss, thank you for stopping by Fixya!

Yes you can block..You need to tell the IMEI number to your service provider and they will block it in a jiffy..
