Keeping your phone secure by numbersCELLPHONES come with a host of built-in security features and it makes good sense to use them all. Even if a cellphone is stolen, it can be tracked and switched off by the network operator using a phone's serial number. There are several numbers you should keep in a safe place: The PIN number you use to access the service via the SIM card is important. Get it wrong several times in a row and it is deactivated; The unblocking code to get the phone working again if you do get the PIN wrong several times. The code comes with your SIM card papers; If your cellphone is stolen report the theft to the police and your insurance company and contact your service provider, which will blacklist the phone using a special identity number. Serial numbers can be identified the following ways: the number should be on the back of the phone and is always 14 or 15 digits in length. Most phones will display the number if you press the following characters: * # 0 6 #; Check the phone's serial number if you buy it second-hand - it could be stolen; Never reveal your PIN to anyone and make sure that the PIN feature is always activated.
