Nigerian banks are just too useless. People have been complaining about thieves using their stolen SIM card to purchase airtime but till now they've refused to do anything about it.


It's not banks that issue SIM cards so what do you want them to do about ity?!

Besides you people have been warned times without number to activate password on your SIM card especially if it's linked to your bank account!

Please don't listen to this man. Oga how can you advice him to go to the police? They will only collect money from you and you won't get any result Trust me. Just let it go and count your losses instead of letting the police add to your misery. This is coming from someone who was trying to track someone who absconded with my money. The biggest mistake I made was involving the police. I provided vital informations like his two phone numbers that still connects till date, his bank details(incase they want to track him through the bank). Yet no result. The only thing that changed with the person was that he moved out of the neighbourhood he was staying yet the police couldn't find him although I'm quite sure they just collected my money and did nothing. The money I gave the police was lesser than the one I was hoping to retrieve but it was the one that hurts most when I lost it to the police. That is why you should just let it go because the police is not going to help you

You see now! Tracking a stolen phone and using police to track your debtor has become the same thing?
My brother lost his phone (not stolen), we involved the police and got the phone back after about 5 months that the phone came back online plus the money he paid for the tracking and transport to the town where the arrest was made.
My ex driver found a touchlight phone in his motor and instead of returning it, he removed the sim and put his own in it. The owner involved the police and it was tracked, he was arrested and made to pay for the phone, the money paid for the tracking and of course the police "service".
Quite a lots of people who tracked their phones got it back while many are still pending for various reasons (like phones not coming online, phones tracked to very far distances and things like that).
Police are usually motivated because of one thing, the money they are going to make the thieves pay once they are arrested.

You guys were fortunate to meet a set of police who were determined to give you result. But if you are not lucky, you will meet the type I met who were just after the money I payed them. Two active numbers yet no result. If the numbers were not going, I would understand that tracking him would be impossible. The fact is I don't trust the police

You're right. Interestingly, you can't steal a Samsung phone and use it. I just need to login to my Samsung plus account and lock the phone with the imei

Splendid

Assuming the sim is MTN(I think its similar with other networks).
Most time they recharge directly to your number(alert sim) since they don't know your ussd pin. They then try transferring that airtime to a different number( that is if you don't have an existing share n sell pin) but if you have created a transfer pin they will opt for the option of data gifting as there is no password required for such transaction.
Give your network provider a call or visit their walk in centre and ask them to give you the number the data was gifted to.
Maybe it will help you in some way.
Phone tracking will be difficult as most of these thieves can tweak the original IMEI to evade tracking and the phone needs to be ON and there needs to be simcard in it or internet connection

I dont like replying miscreants like you.
Didn't you see " sorry for your loss in my reply"?


And what has computer village go to do with the story he narrated?

This happened at Ikeja under the bridge or along Awolowo way.

Was his phone picked inside the technology market?




Look at all these secondary school dropouts insulting everybody on a faceless forum. I am sure you won’t dare look into my face if you see me physically.


Have a good day boy!

I fear for the crop of men these days The fact is I don't trust the police

Majority of Nigerians don't either. I told you their motivation already

You cannot connect 1 Bluetooth device to two phones at a time

I have connected it to one local airpod before (the airpod was stolen later at my fiancee's place of work). I kept the left one inside the wireless casing, connected the right one to my device, while the left one was later brought out from the casing and was connected to my second phone....

On your Android device homepage

Navigate and click on Settings
Scroll to select Security
Click on set up SIM Card LOCK.
Click on the LOCK SIM Card.
Insert MTN default SIM Card PIN, 00000
Tap on ” CHANGE SIM Card PIN” to change the default pin to your unique 4-digit pin
Confirm your 4-digits unique pin
Power off and on to check if SIM PIN is activated

This worked.

Thanks.
