I recently lost my Nokia2100... i know it's nothing to other people but to me it's valuable... i was wondering whether i can lock my phone thru calling & telling my telcommunications provider that my phone is stolen.
Bcos i read somewhere that i can lock my phone by giving the telcos my serial number(yes,i have it now) & blocking access to the phone even though the thief uses a different simcard.
Furthermore... i think the article said that this works because everytime i switch on my phone the serial id/number/signal will be sent to the telcos.So they will know the serial no & block access to it.

Call your cellular provider and ask them. Report it missing to the police, and have your number changed. Do you have insurance on it?? You could also try and call it . I've done that before and when they answered I told them they were using a stolen phone, they said they found it and giveit back.

Call your phone company and tell them what happened. You will more than likely have to cancel your old number and get a new one (sort of like losing a credit card)
Better to be safe now then sorry later.

Just call the phone company. They will deactivate that particular phone. You will not have to change numbers.
