How To Block Lost Mobile Phone Using IMEI Number in India.


Your mobile IMEI can be found by pressing *#06#, always keep a note of your mobile’s IMEI number in a notebook or at some safe place, so that you can use it in case the mobile is lost.

When ever a mobile phone is switched off and on, the  SIM card sends some internal information to the mobile network operator such as mobile IMEI number, mobile model number, mobile version and other technical details.
So if you have lost yourmobile phone you can contact your network provider to block your IMEI number.
First go to Police and get a FIR copy and then call customer service and tell to block your IMEI number.

All the network providers in India use a shared hosting service for blocking IMEI numbers, So if you tell to one network, all other networks will block that IMEI number automatically.

      If you have installed any tracking apps on your mobile then you can get it back by tracking it through its GPS location
      but if you haven't done so you have no other way
      You can only block your mobile IMEI by contacting your operator.

      There is no provision with mobile operators in INDIA that they can block the IMIE number and make the handset useless .This is what i have been explicitly told . ( IDEA Operator) . I had a blackberry which is stolen , and even the Blackberry Customer care cant help on this . Even if you logged FIR , the phone can only be tracked , but not blacked . I am aware and seen on sites that there is a process in which the IMIE number can be backlisted in the Equipment identity register , but that doesn't suppose to be followed in INDIA at all !!! Really Disappointed !Any help/guidance would be appreciated ! thanks .

    dear LG team, really sorry that i am assosiate with you. Unfortunately purchase on LG G7 dual on last month and the same got stolen on 2nd Nov'13. I called you at least 4 times but your customer executives are so great that they are not ready to support - even one of them simply disconnect the line. You are really a great and good company who entertain customer like good !!!! Surely that's my advice to all customer to think twice before going to LG. My contact number is 9911915573 and IMEI 355765054079370
