So people carrying smartphones must be careful in handling your phone to prevent stealing, also you have to act precisely in case it gets stolen. People even complain to operators with no valid document after it is lost or stolen. Here are some of the tips you have to keep in your mind for mobile phone lost or stealing.

IMEI number

As the phone is prone to be lost anytime, you have to save the phone model and the unique IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number somewhere. As operators could track or even black list a phone with IMEI, you have to keep the IMEI of the phone along with the proof that it belongs to you. Even the phone box carriers the IMEI with it.

Use security lock or PIN to lock the phone.

There are some phones with which you can lock the phone with PIN code. It is done so that they could not easily use the phone or take out the private data of yours. Try putting the PIN code if you have it in your phone.

Keep your phone near to you.

Phones are more likely to be stolen when you keep your phone a little far. As you cannot feel the phone, you are not aware when you actually left it to be stolen. Although you put your phone near to you (may be inside your pocket), make sure it fits well inside so that it is not easy to steal or drop on its own.
