Hi Guys,
I lost my phone one night. I am not in hope of finding it, but I do not want thief to profit from the occasion.
I have the IMEI number still at hand. Is there anything that can be done?
(NB: I did not have a phone/sim lock on the phone and the thief deleted the findmyphone function WP7 has)
Many thanks in advance,
Jason

If you really want to pursue it, you can ask your cell phone company to try and give you a rough location of where it is through cell triangulation, although that may be difficult to get them to do. Otherwise, you can tell them to Blacklist the IMEI number so that it can't be used on any networks.

Thanks for the tips.
I tried to block the IMEI in Hong Kong, but my service providor (Smartone Vodafone) said they dont provide such service.
When I went back to the UK, I called up T-Mobile and someone from an India call centre said they blocked it for me, but the "reassuringly" told me it can be easily unlocked by someone who knows mobiles well...
Are there any sites or places I can submit the IMEI number to?
Many thanks,
Jason

It can't be "unlocked". The person would have to spoof or change the IMEI number, something which I've been able to ever do on 1 phone (original iPhone). But the reason I did it is not because it was stolen, but because I didn't want a data plan that AT&T was forcing on its customers, so I made the phone appear as another phone. I don't think it can be done easily on most phones.
I don't think there are any websites you can submit the IMEI number to. I believe there's a global IMEI blacklist database that most responsible carriers choose to enforce.
Cheers for the details.
I too was shocked that Smartone Vodafone did not offer IMEI blocking.
I hope t-mobile really did block the IMEI number.
I was a bit sceptic as all the CS Agent did was take note it and that was it. She didnt ask for any details about me either.

Hello.
I am interested to buy a smartphone from another country, some people told me to make sure about the IMEI and the language.
So here are my three simple questions.
1)What should i look for on the IMEI ? Some told me to see if the device IMEI is equal with the one on the box ? I am quite unsure what i can understand from the IMEI number.
2)Furthermore what is about the language. I mean if i order the phone from Germany, does this mean that i will not be able to use it in another language ? e.g. English ?
3)When talking about an unlocked phone, i understand that it can be used with any carrier. Fine. But on several websites i see the same phone on the same store with 2-3 different variants, meaning Mobile-A by T-online, by Vodafone etc. What difference does it make ? Should i go for one that is carrier-free (or however we can call this) ?
Thank you.
I'll try and answer all of your questions for you
1. Every phone in the world has a different IMEI. If a phone is reported as lost or stolen, a carrier can 'blacklist' an IMEI so that it does not work on their network, and shows up as 'stolen' on other networks. It's always important to determine that the IMEI of the phone you are buying is not stolen. You can ask the seller for it, and use an IMEI lookup website to determine this. There is a sticker on the retail box that has the IMEI printed on it. If it is different to the IMEI of the phone, it means the phone is being sold in a different box. This would start raising alarm bells for me.
2. Not necessarily. Most modern phones support multiple languages, and almost all of them support English. It always pays to double-check with the seller, though!
3. Different variants of the same phone usually support different radio 'bands'. This means that they may or may not work on your chosen network. Check your carrier website to determine the network bands they use, and then double-check those bands are supported on the device you wish to buy.
Good luck!
thank you for the reply.
Everything is pretty clear now.
I believe i can go to the shop now
Thanks again !
You're very welcome
I recently bought a China android phone on ebay.com. you can see the product here http://www.ebay.com/itm/-/320977989760?item=320977989760&ViewItem=
I live in India and i am not able to use the Sim on the phone. The problem is when i put the sim the phone detects carrier name but i am not able to make calls. So can this be an issue with the IMEI number. Because i have heard the the china phones does not come with genuine IMEI numbers and in Indian now its compulsory to use handsets only with the genuine IMEI numbers. So can some one please help me with this? I dont know if its an IMEI issue or something else. I contacted the seller and he said it has a genuine IMEI and he also gave me a link to change the IMEI number of needed which i know is illegal. So any help is really appreciated !! Thanks.
Cheers,

I've just purchased a Mate 9 from Hong Kong. with English menus. Its a great phone BTW.
In the future, I may want Boot Loader access to change the ROM. Understand you have to have a Huawei ID in order to request a BL code. I don't speak Chinese. IF I register for an Huawei ID on the phone itself, it appears that I'm 'forced' to register in the REGION: China.
If I register on my PC (I'm currently located in the USA but work/live a lot in Asia and Europe), the PC defaults to the USA Region for ID registration.
Considering my overall goal is to change ROMS...which region should I register in? Thinking BOTH may be the best bet...unless serial number are a criteria for registering in only ONE Region. Jeeze, did they REALLY have to follow the customer unfriendly DVD/DRM model with region coding????
Thank you for any guidance or personal experience stories that could help with this decision.
You can do USA region for your Huawei ID without issues. Many of us have already written steps for bootloader unlock in other threads. Here's some helpful info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=70076360&postcount=2
Thank you.
Thanks opasha!
I was worried if I registered in the US, that Huawei would tell me to pack sand...because I brought a HK model in from abroad. As of this time Huawei doesn't support the Mate 9 6GB/128GB model in the US.
All the best.

You mentioned your phone is 6GB/128GB. In that case, it's a mainland Chinese model, not a Hong Kong model. I'm assuming it's MHA-AL00, right?
If that's the case, you want to register as Chinese of a Huawei account as you possibly can, because they will only help you with the bootloader unlock code if you write them in Chinese, send them screenshots with your phone set to Chinese, and so on.

Indeed...you are right! It is a MHA-AL00.
So, I guess better to register in China to get the boot loader access code?
For this version...do you think the European / International ROMs would work even tho there is a big difference in memory? (6/128 for China and 4/64 for International/EU). I'd prefer to have the international ROM over the Chinese version...but due to the differences in memory ..... a ROM for a different version might not register the expanded memory capacity.
Thoughts? & Ty.

If you have the bootloader unlock code, you can turn it into a European version, and all the memory still works. I've done this myself.
Hi. I still do not have the phone, but I need to register it with the regulating organization of my country, so when I arrive I can use it. I only need one piece of information. I need the TAC. This is the first 8 numbers of the IMEI.
I appreciate who can help me. Please only model BKL-L04.

You need to wait to recive your phone, only you will know IMEI's number of your own phone
