An IMEI number- The International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) number is an international identity number used to uniquely identify a mobile phone. The 15-digit IMEI number is an electronic fingerprint transmitted every time a phone is used, which reveals the identity of the mobile handset.
How can I find out my IMEI number? IMEI numbers are independent of the phone number and are usually written underneath the battery or on the back of the handset. Mobile phone users can also check their 15 digit IMEI number by dialling *#06# on their mobile handset. Mobile phone owners should make a note of their IMEI number and keep the details in a safe place.
If u lost your mobile, send an e-mail to with the following info.

Dear Manju,
Thanks for the info.
I would like bring an incident to ur notice,
One of my friend lost his mobile. By the time we did the same as you said in ur posting. But, we received no response.
Infact we even walked in to a police station and field an FIR reg this (with some bribe).
Still they searching. As we had a discussion over ther we got one of the replies as, " we getting enough complients like this per day, if we really want to act on it we will not be working on anyother cases, its also your responsibility to keep your belongings safe "
What you say about this?
