So if your mobile got stolen if your on a plan call up the company or whatever you are with if you can cancel it for you not sure if you can do it in indiana thats my only suggestion.

Airtel won't(and also can't) help you with that. Because the one who stole your mobile will have replaced your sim card with another.

Just file a complain in your nearby police station. They will hand over your issue to cyber crime branch who will trace the mobile by its IMEI.

put,new KMS if u buy a new phone...i'm using kaspersky mobile security v.8..wondeful...it has phone lock option just sending a simlpe msg to lock or erase data..if the theif put a new sim,that number will be automatically emailed to me...even,if the phone lost,via russian satellites,it shows the GPS postion of phone...russian technolgy is advancing very fast...!

I still am not sure if one can block phone using its imei no. there are programs if i am not mistaken able to unlock, locked phones. reporting it to the police would be great though i doubt it would do any help.. but its better that way..

This the the best thing suggested that can only do in india for low cost cell phone .......

nyway my frnd told me dat thers almost no chance of gettin bak a lost fone as d police also dont evn try 2 luk fr it or block d imei .....

Sorry to say yes. Police won't look after it seriously unless its really a costlier one. So the chances of getting it back is 1 in 100 percent.

What i am coming to say is "you should prevent it from unauthorised usage". Just imagine if the mobile goes to any terrorist? Then you will be facing a great problem. To prevent this just do this.
1) Call Airtel and ask them to block the sim card. They will do it and will provide you with a new sim card.

2) Go to the nearby police station and complain that your mobile is lost.
complaining to police will not retrieve your mobile, but you can stay protected even if the phone is used illegally, since you have already complained about it.
Hope you understand what i am coming to say.
