With phone thefts at an all time high, here is a good tip:
Download your IMEI number which helps to identify your phone if it’s been stolen or lost, and allows it to be blocked from your network provider. The police will also require this number if you make an insurance claim for your phone.
To access your IMEI number, text *#06#
You’ll receive a screen with the number, and what looks like barcodes.
Take a screenshot and save it elsewhere, for example email it to yourself so that you have it available if your phone gets lost or stolen.
