Imagine the scenario that your house has been burgled and your computer, which contains the inventory of your belongings, has been stolen. If you had registered with immobilise you could go to any computer, log on with your own I.D. and password and print out an inventory for the insurance company and the police.
If you had a mobile phone stolen it is possible to register in retrospect on Immobilise simply by contacting your airtime provider and asking for the IMEI number. The reason for doing this is as follows:
Having registered the IMEI number of the phone it is possible to go straight into the account and register the phone as lost/stolen. This means that, if the phone turns up in the hands of the police anywhere in the country, when they run a check on the IMEI number it will not only show that you are the registered owner but also the crime details. This will give police a fighting chance of finding out who committed the theft. It can give good evidence to support a successful prosecution and once blocked the handset will be ‘Immobilised ‘ and even replacing the Sim Card will not make the handset work again.
Don’t make it easy for thieves
