You will need to visit their office again to register another eSim on it. You can't just swap it when you like.

With the rising cost of everything in the country, by now we can all agree that a high-end phone costs a fortune so the last thing you need right now is to lose it to criminals. But what if I told you you can make it impossible for a thief to get away with it and have no choice but to dispose of it or return it? Listen attentively because this can save you a great deal of money and make it easy to track your phone in the future.

Before I begin, please this only works with iPhones so if you're using an Android phone you can leave now I will break them down into tips.

Tip 1: Disable Access to Control Center from the lock screen: When a criminal snatch your iPhone, one of the first things they do is try to turn it off so you don't start calling them and try to track it down. They can put your phone on airplane mode. That way calls won't come through, your data connection will go offline too so you can't track it easily.

But if you Disable Access to Control Center from the lock screen, then they can't put it on Airplane mode so they have no choice but to remove your sim card from your phone to make it go offline. This takes me to the second tip to prevent this from happening!

To Disable Access to Control Center:

1. Launch the Settings app on your ‌iPhone‌ or ‌iPad‌.
2. Tap Face ID (or Touch ID) and Passcode.
3. Enter your passcode if prompted.
4. Scroll down and turn off the switch next to Control Center.

Tip 2: Register and activate your eSIM: Most people don't know this but high-end recent iPhone models support 2 sim cards. One physical sim and an electronic sim. Am sure MTN supports eSIM, not sure of other networks. Go to an MTN retail store and tell them you want to register an eSim and they will help you do it. This eSIM will act as a security firewall when they get rid of your main sim card after stealing it. The eSim cannot be removed so you can still call it continuously and force them to abandon it. You can even send data to your eSIM that way It can connect to the internet and help you track it with find my iPhone. For this to work remember you must always leave mobile data turned on at all times. They can't turn mobile data off from the control center so you are safe.

Tip 3: Enable Emergency Bypass: Remember that side toggle button on every iPhone that you can use to switch it to vibration mode easily? They use this to put the phone on silent mode when getting away. But with emergency bypass, you can set some contacts to ring out loud if they call your phone even if it is on vibration the phone will still ring out regardless . Now ask one of your emergency bypass contacts to keep calling your eSim phone number continuously and it will ring like crazy even if they put it on vibration. This alone can make the thief drop that phone and go away but if they choose to not drop it you can track it down to their bedroom with the help of the eSim.

To Enable Emergency bypass

1. Launch the Contacts app on your iPhone.
2. Tap a contact you want to add to the emergency bypass.
3. Tap Edit.
4. Tap Ringtone and then on the next screen toggle the Emergency Bypass switch to the green ON position.
5. Tap Done to finish.

Tip 4. Deactivate your SIM Immediatly: I get it your phone is important to you but your bank account could be worth more. This should be the first thing you should do. The thief could do a lot of harm to your pocket if they have access to your sim card and wipe your account. With your sim card, they can also attempt to reset your Apple ID password and turn off find my iPhone. Call your Network provider and they will help you deactivate your sim card.

Tip 5. Make sure you set up your Apple ID: Am not going to stress this because this is the first thing you will do before you can download any app. By setting your Apple ID it automatically turns on find my iPhone which brings me to the last tip.

Tip 6. Turn on Find My Network: Find My Network enables the iPhone to send its location to you even if it's switched off. It does this by communicating with any iPhone within range with Bluetooth and it does this even if it is off. Please note that this feature is only supported on iPhone 11 and above.

To enable Find my network:

1. Head to Settings and tap on your name
2. Then, tap on the Find My option
3. Now, tap on Find My iPhone and turn on the toggle in front of it
4. After this, look for the option Find My network and enable that as well.
5. Also, check to Send Last Location option, this will send your iPhone’s last location to your Apple account when the battery is low.

IF you do all this and your iPhone gets stolen you can recover it in a few hours because it will remain online unless it gets disassembled and an average thief does not have the technical knowledge and tools to attempt this process. Also remember time is of the essence so you need to act fast. Report to the police and do what you can to get them to follow you and track down the criminal ASAP before they try to take it apart.

Stop judging android phones by all these transsion phones and the likes. Get updated. Android manufacturers
