My phone was stolen days ago. I did not lock my sim but I locked the phone therefore the thief can't use the phone till he gives it to one phone technician who will flash the phone to override all settings returning to its default settings. with the knowledge of IMEI no, is it possible to render the phone useless? |

IMEI numbers are used abroad to block stolen phones rendering them useless on the home network. But this blocking mechanism, is not used by Nigerian networks providers. Sorry about your loss. |

My SIM is more important to me than the phone itself. So, my SIM is always locked, so that, in case of eventual lose, my datas are protected. I think destroying the phone with the IMEI number is possible, but, not sure is working here in Nigeria for now. Sorry for the lose. |
