PS: What you wrote (in red) is not true, if phone is unlocked and swapped with other SIM card, this SIM cards phone connection is used to send you a SMS with it's number, IMSI number & telecom operator.
yeah i know the fact that the app would send an sms from the new sim..
damn, that means that my LOCK code messed me up..
how ironic huh?

just let me know what i should do with my imei number.

i have all my files from my phone backed up.
anything useful?

the worst part is, i KNEW that the lock code would prevent smscon from working completely, but i never thought that my PHONE would ever be stolen.
anyways,
please advise.

You can use this opportunity as an "on the job" training for your app :P

and you would save my life too!

imei number?
i really dont wanna give up.

Wow. i have a lock code too in case it gets stolen, not using SMS con yet but i would certainly want both.

Is your phone insured?

No, IMEI is just a point of reference really, it isn't a tracking tool.

It might not be of any help now, but for future reference you can insure a phone in another country.

You can go to the police. They can ask vodafone and the other operators if your IMEI has been used and get the number and name from the person who is using it. Other thing is that they have time to do it. Unfortunately a stolen phone is not top priority :(

Where i live if you want to have a sim card you have to provide your name, you are right, in Scotland may be different.

If you report it has been stolen they CAN do that, but i am not so sure they will actually DO it.

Remind them it was a £500 device, so it's not that insignificant a crime...
