Mobile phone stolen!!

[staffsNlaffs]

with all the tecnology around these days surely they could devise something along the lines of a code that needs to be entered to activate a phone every time a new sim card is entered- say the owners date of birth which could be supplied at time of purchase??!

 

it would still be by passed wouldn't it

That's why i have install some application that give me update whenever i change my sim.you can also lock you phone with the security code so that no one can open it.

My teenager had their Blackberry stolen last week by some VERY unsavoury characters. Phoned the phone company straight away to inform them and they said they would put a block on the phone so it was useless to anyone who tried to use it. However on further questioning it turns out that the phone could be unblocked if the peson knows,or knows of someone, able to do this. But the lady said not to worry cos that was illegal!!!!!!

 

HELLO!!!!!!!!

 

Surley in this day of age the phone companies could develop something that totally kills a phone once its been reported stolen.

 

Anyhow no doubt the druggie skum sold it within hours for a hit and someones feeling rather proud of themselves for obtaining a blackberry at a good price

 

every car boot sale ive been to has the typical type offering an unblocking service

You can't blame the phone company for people being able to unblock phones. No matter what protection they come up with, people will always find a way around it. Be grateful that they bar calls from the number, that's the most important thing.
