Hi Roger, If you contact your carrier and report it stolen, they should block the IMEI number which will then make it unusable in Australia. Cheers, Ronni On 12/03/2012, at 1:46 PM, Roger Kortas wrote: Am I right in thinking that if you have your phone stolen/lost you can get it barred

I’m not sure Roger, The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) is a unique 17 or 15 digit code used to identify an individual mobile station to a GSM or UMTS network. The IMEI number provides an important function; it uniquely identifies a specific mobile phone being used on a mobile

Hi Roger people with iPhones, Roger to answer your previous question: Does the blocking of the IMEI carry through the rest of the world? NO it doesn’t... The IMEI blocking of the iPhone only applies to Australia networks. The phone will work on most other networks around the world.
