service providers must have the information of the IMEI NUMBERS
and they must have geolocation software to locate the mobile phone
with the help of base station near the mobile phone

Hello,

I lost my Nokia N8 in Bangalore, India. I have the IMEI number with me and I have filed a police complaint. But when I approached the service provider(vodafone), they are telling they will not be able to block it. Can anyone help me in this regard? what should be my next step?

Thanks in advance.

after going through whole of the messages you kno i found that we all are going through the same problem and i think the current system of law is the whole sole responsible for that.
mobile phone stealing is the biggest problem we al r pasing on and due to this the terrorist activities are also expanding a lot and then the govt use to surprise how terrorist are performing their activities while the govt norms are itself responsible
so we al should be careful now

Me too. Just decided to write here because this site seems to get many hits and be of some help to others, if at all.

Lost my mobile at domestic airport check-in desk of jetair or the hand baggage scanning area between 5 am and 7 am. I realized the loss much later, after arriving at my destination. With the amount of hype around “Don’t touch unattended bags etc.” it may not have been a co-traveler but you never know. Someone mentioned that if it returns to the authorities and is not collected after a few days (no idea how many), these get auctioned!

What I did: 1) Spoke to Airtel who said “Please bring a request in company letter head” if you wish to get a duplicate SIM to which all balances if any would be transferred. I had to speak to my office to get this done – some Rs. 50 or so for the replacement.
2) Logged a police complaint and got FIR No. They were very helpful.

My request to the Authorities:
1) I think the police database in the entire country should be integrated, the way the customs and immigration data is. I understand this is not the case now!
2) All mobile service providers should access this barred list when providing connection. This would be similar to the global spam database block list.

My conclusion:
1) Lost phones may be used for gray market spares
2) May be sold in oversea markets
3) Need to spend all that time in building up the personal phone number, address and messages database all over again!
4) Replacing the sim will help you in keeping the number for banking and other online services.
5) Loss may be lower using prepaid and if the balance is low.
6) One may be just “lucky” to get it back.
