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.

My cell being snatched on road.
Dear Sir
I am a student in nagpur doing Engineering. I took my new cell in November. Its model in Nokia N81. On 5th February while i was returning back to my home in the evening from my tuition, 2 guys on a bike snatched my handset from me and ran away. I tried to catch them so they hit my bike with their legs and i got skid off. Due to this i met with a very serious accident. I was admitted in a hospital for three days. I even made Police complaint but there is no result yet.
So sir i kindly request you, if you could help me out in someway to find out my cell please do help me. I would me very thankful to you.

Nokia Mobile Phone Tracking - Life Saving Symbian Application
LBSzone.com Application of the week comes from Down-Under from Track and Locate - LifeAssist Application, an innovative "Man Down System" Mobile Phone Tracking application, supporting Symbian S60 mobile devices (like the Nokia N95).
We have released this application on 9 different Nokia Series 60 phones - Nokia N95, N96, 6210, 6720 etc.
"World's best" Man Down System Tracking Solution, Life Assist is a new breed of cell phone based technology that enables the cell phone device and the Internet determine the welfare of a person.
For the ageing population that is largely mobile and often single, a solution like Life Assist when used by aged care monitoring companies and agencies in community services will give a pro-active welfare and security system to their clients. Complete with GPS tracking, motion tracking, elementary signs-of-life check, biofeedback, remote camera activation, battery monitoring, and a voice-based interface - Life Assist is unparalleled in the easy of use and the value it delivers.
F e a t u r e s
• Location management

How it works?
Data from the user' cell phone is processed on the cell phone before it is sent to the Track and Locate M2M platform. The Track and Locate M2M platform provides a web based interface for a monitoring company or any individual to control and manage all cell phones remotely and provides for data storage, reporting, exception monitoring, alert and notification and mapping for GPS data.
Currently a selected set of mobile phones from Nokia support the Life Assist technology.
For more information on how you can use and deploy Life Assist please contact us.

In regards to the imes of India Blog on Gleez.com
I m putting this complaint to highlight the story of my Lost Mobile in Bangalore to the Times of India who gave their blog on this webpage showing the easy of tracing a lost mobile phone. But in actual I know how difficult it is to do the same. Plz go through my complaint. I m Nokia's customer with IMEI Number - 358977010890520. On 21st 0f April 2009 some body steel my Nokia 3110C from my pocket while getting into the bus at Kempegowda bus stand in Bangalore City. I went to Nokia Care and they told me that they don't have any facility to trace or block the mobile phones. and that to not only in that center but also not in any of the centres and also the same facility is not available anywhere in India. they asked me to visit the Police station. But police station people also told me the same thing that they can't help me in tracing or blocking the mobile phone. but they can give an acknowledgement of FIR given by me so that I can apply for a duplicate sim card which I have already got without FIR from IDEA Care. ******* The main purpose of my complaint over here is to ask for help from NOKIA in tracing or blocking my mobile phone.******* *******AND IF THE SAME THING CANNOT BE DONE FROM NOKIA ALSO AND IF THERE ANSWER IS ALSO THE SAME AS OF NOKIA CARE AND POLICE STATION THEN I HAVE A QUESTION FOR NOKIA COMPANY. AND THAT IS IF NOKIA PEOPLE CANNOT GIVE A GOOD SERVICE OR CANNOT HELP THEIR CUSTOMERS IN INDIA THEN WHY ARE THEY SELLING THERE PRODUCTS IN INDIA AND WHY ARE THEY IN INDIA???????????**********
Looking for a better response from Nokia.....
