To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 #

A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere

safe. Should your phone get stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able

to block your handset so even if the thief changes the SIM card your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't

get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either. If everybody did this, there

would be no point in stealing mobile phones.

This is true that the use of a mobile equipment can be blocked by the operator based on the IMEI(the serial number).
But I think the operators in India are not providing this service as of now.

Can anybody make the situation clear????
