BANGALORE: Lost your mobile phone? Not to worry. Your cell phone operator or the police can help you find it if only you can give them the IMEI number.
The IMEI (international mobile equipment identity) is your handset's fingerprint that helps track down your lost phone.
Here's how you can find the IMEI number of your cell phone: Just punch in *#06#, and the phone will display a 15-digit number. Note this number.
The IMEI number gets logged on to the SIM card and a cellular operator can locate the area from where a call is made, says Jagdish Kini, CEO, Bharati Mobile Services.
Alarmed by growing number of mobile thefts and losses, operators and the police are creating awareness about this.
"Existing recovery systems are good, but identification becomes a problem since owners don't know their IMEI,'' says Bangalore ACP H.M.A. Sharief.
He says cell phone thefts reported to the police have doubled in the city over the last one year. And what's reported is believed to be only 10% of the actual number. "Every one carries a cell phone these days and it is easy to snatch one and sell in the grey market.''
The IMEI number assumes importance because thieves and unauthorised users have become clever enough not to use the same SIMs or service providers. While it is possible for each service provider to track the transactions of its subscribers, tracking becomes complicated when the networks are changed.
BSNL GM, mobile services (Karnataka Telecom Circle), M.C. Kalkura says cell operators can block or track all calls originating from a lost mobile provided the IMEI number is noted.
"Tracking systems can become even more efficient if switches and networks of all service providers could pool intelligence,'' he says.
BSNL's CellOne alone replaces over 200 SIM cards a month due to handset theft.

N73-M Lost near Swarget, Pune, Maharashtra
Hi,
I have lost my N73-ME mobile while traveling in PMPML bus in Pune near Swarget Bus Depot. I have blocked my SIM on the same day as it was a post paid connection from vodafone and launched police complaint also. I got a new SIM with the same number and it will be activated on 26/09/2008.
Below is the information about my mobile phone.
Mobile - Nokia N73-ME
Mobile Number :- +91-982-322-3844.
Mobile IMEI No :- 358973018835104
Last date/time mobile accessed : 24/09/2008 (9:50 AM)
Please let me know if it could be tracked by any means.
Thank you.
all you people-great advice
This someone=*********
The best way to find a thefted mobile is to give complaint to the cops, they can eazily find your mobile in days. and the second best way is to find it your self but it is a little tought and you also need a imei no of the phone.
It is a long procedure to track it your self it will take months.
once phone is activated the first time the imei no gets registered in the phone, thus even when the criminal changes the sim the imei no will be the same. so when the criminal uses the new sim , the same imei no is used.
so what the cops do is that they will check with all the service provider eg(airtel, vodafone etc). obiously someone or the other should be used, they will get the informations(address and other info) that has been given to the service provider by the criminal. then you can get your mobile from the cops..
