Cell Phone Self-Defense Week – -Tip #4

This week you are learning that your cell phone is truly an important Self-Defense and life tool. Well what do you do if your cell phone is stolen or lost!?! Think of everything that you have stored on the phone, contacts, pictures and more…not a nice thought. But it happens, cell phones bring a premium on the black market to criminal types so what DO you do if yours is stolen. Why disable it of course but you need to plan ahead for this event. You need to have your cell phone or mobile devices serial number. On some phones you can get the serial number by keying in the following code *#06#. A 15 digit number will appear on the phones display. This 15 digit number is unique to your phone. Once you retrieve this number write it down and keep it in a safe place.
If your cell phone or mobile device should ever get stolen call your service provider and give them the 15 digit serial number. Depending on your provider (and who answers the support line) they may be able to use this code to block your handset even if the thief changed the SIM card thus rendering your stolen cell phone useless. You won’t get your phone back but perhaps no one else will be using it either! Stay safe, protect your assets and make crime unprofitable!
