2. Call up the police. Submit them the
IMEI number of your phone (which you should have noted before the theft).
From what I understand, the
IMEI number is broadcast to the network
every time a call is made, along with the user's account information on the sim card.So let's say the person who stole the phone just takes out your sim and puts in their's, and keeps using the phone. Your Carrier should be able to track it by their account info.
A unique code encrypted in each mobile, known as the International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number, is now being used to trace a mobile anywhere in the country. Even if the SIM card (network) is changed, it can be traced.
Whenever a phone logs onto a particular network to make or receive calls, its
IMEI number is emitted and this gets registered. In case of stolen phones, the service provider can pass on the information to the police. and they can trace the user through the SIM card. It is possible to even track down gangs running cellphone-stealing rackets.
Register with a website like Track IMEI, Mobile Phones Tracker or Theft Record. You simply have to visit the website and submit your handset's IMEI number.
