do this first
Sometimes phones are accidentally left on the train, or sometimes thieves steal them. In such a situation, it becomes very important to keep your data secure. The phone is no longer just about making calls; It contains sensitive information like banking apps, important documents, personal photos and videos. If your mobile phone gets stolen, immediately block your mobile number and then block the phone’s IMEI using the Sanchar Sathi app. Additionally, you can also remotely erase all data from your phone.
The advantage of blocking IMEI number through the official Communication Partner website is that any SIM card of any network will not work in the phone, i.e. your phone will become completely useless to the thief. If a SIM card in the phone does not work, the banking apps on the phone will remain safe as no OTP will be received on the phone for any transaction, and your money will remain safe. If your phone is found, you can also unblock it through the Sanchar Saathi website.
