Instructions
Step 1
When you buy a phone in a mobile store, you fill out a warranty card, which indicates the IMEI of your phone. IMEI is your unique international phone number. This number is 15 digits long. Every phone that supports the GSM standard has such a code. This number is set at the factory during assembly to accurately identify the device in the GSM network.
If the phone is lost, you need to find out this number. You can find it out not only on the warranty card, but also on the phone box.
Step 2
The next step is to go to the police. It is imperative that you bring your identity documents and all the papers on the phone, which confirm that it is in your property. The department will ask you to write a statement about the loss or theft of your phone.
Step 3
If you provide the police with your phone's IMEI number, a request will be made to the cellular operators. The interaction of the police and operators lies in the fact that, knowing the IMEI, you can find the phone, or rather the SIM card that is now valid in your phone. After the owner of the SIM card that is now used in your phone is determined, cellular operators contacts will report this to the police station. The district police officer of the area where the address of the designated mobile number is located must find out the circumstances of the case.
