My brother had his smart phone snatched by a "biker" whilst answering a call, although he gave chase the biker was just too fast.
As soon as my brother got home he phoned his network provider to block the phone (IMEI) and sim card.
So there is a couple of things I'm puzzled about.
1) With so many laptops/phones/tablets stolen why isn't there more GPS tracker apps/software available like Find my iPhone?
2) If the GPS was not turned on could it be turned on by his network provider?
3) What use is a phone if it is locked and blocked apart from using it for spare parts?
4) I've been told that some blocked/network barred phones work abroad but the network providers either run networks in other countries or have partnerships, so how can a blocked/network barred phone still work?
