Sometimes unfortunately your mobile phones gets stolen or sometimes it gets misplaced. So if your mobile phone gets stolen and it falls in hands of stranger then it can be a great threat to you.

Mobile phone contains lot of information like contact numbers, text messages (SMS), other data like games, videos, music files, emails etc. This information can be used by the robber or the person who founds your mobile phone. So we must know what to do if your mobile phone gets lost. Today we discuss about this fact.

First of you should avoid to store private/confidential information on your mobile phones. Many people save their bank account details, ATM pin codes, emails, etc in form of text messages or in any other form or in memory cards. So try to avoid such things. ;-)

Every mobile has an unique international code. This is 15 digit International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number of your phone that can be used to deactivate your mobile phone. You must remember this number. Usually this number is written on the packing box in which your bought your mobile. Just write this number somewhere and keep it safe. Now when ever your mobile phone gets lost or stolen you need to call the mobile phone company office and inform them about your loss, the company can then deactivate your mobile phone by using the IMEI number that you provided.
