Disable your iPhone if it gets stolen

This posting can be
quite a timesaver (if your phone uses the GSM standard):

…To check your Mobile Phone’s IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity), key in the following digits on your phone: *#06# and the IMEI 15-digit code will appear on the screen or check it in Settings/About/IMEI or it is imprinted on the back of your iPhone. This IMEI number is unique to your iPhone. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe.

If your iPhone gets stolen, you can phone your service provider and give them this code. They will then be able to block your handset so even if the the thief changes the SIM Card, your iPhone will be totally useless…MORE….

A good thing to know!

And if you’re looking for more phone security ideas, consider:
