The Delhi Police is now preparing to work closely with internet service providers and the department of telecoms to ban stolen or snatched phones in response to the national capital’s increasing incidence of mobile phone theft. The device’s International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number will be used for this. 4,660 occurrences of snatching were reported between January 1 and June 28 in the city, an increase of 11–15% from the previous year.
Let us know about IMEI Number
A device on a mobile network may be recognised by its IMEI, or International Mobile Equipment Identity, which is a special number. It is similar to the unique identification of your phone and contains 15 numbers. This number is used to confirm the legitimacy of your device when you browse the internet or make calls using your mobile service provider. You will have two IMEI numbers, one for each SIM card slot, if your phone supports dual SIM. The quickest method to locate it is to dial *#06# on your mobile phone; your screen will then display the number right away. It is often located on the back of your phone, underneath the battery pack.In addition to its operational function, the IMEI number can assist network operators in locating a device in the event that it is stolen or misplaced. The carrier or carriers may refuse to provide the device access to the cellular network once such loss or theft has been reported, even with a fresh SIM card. Due to its inability to place or receive calls, this will essentially render the gadget unusable.
