A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to
your

handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone
get

stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code.
They

will then be able to block your handset so even if the thief changes
the

SIM card, your phone will be totally useless.

whoever
stole it can't use/sell it either.
