Track ur lost mobile phone

Got an interesting fact to share. Nowdays each one of us carry Hi Fi mobile devices and always fear that it may be stolen. Each mobile carries a unique IMEI i.e International Mobile Identity No which can be used to track your mobile anywhere in the world.

This is how it works:-

1. Dial *#06# from ur mobile.

2. Your mobile shows a unique no. (it could be a mix of alpha numeric digit code)

3. Note down this number anywhere but except in your mobile as this is the number which will help trace your mobile in case of a theft.

4. Once stolen you just have to mail this IMEI No. to cop@vsnl.net

5. No need to go to police.

6. Your Mobile will be traced withing next 24 hrs via a complex system of GPRS and Internet.

7. You will find where your hand set is being operated even in case your no is being changed.

PS:- The e-mail id is distinctively Indian, so this may be India specific.
