Who will block your last phones IMEI? Samsung or Airtel or Police

Security | 2 comments

It is taking ages for me to get the phone IMEI blocked while police doesn’t like filing complaint on one end and  at the other end mobile manufacturer as well as network providers through stones at each other.

Here is what Samsung CEO’s office has to say about this once it was escalated beyond customer service:

Dear Mr. Omshivaprakas,

When contacted police about the lost phone so far I have been asked to write the complaint as its lost and not stolen just for the sake of getting FIR and they won’t be blocking IMEI either. So, what am I supposed to do? I don’t care of the mobile that has been lost but would definitely want me phone’s IMEI to be blocked as I don’t want that to be used by any one else.

Who will tie the bell?

Still searching for a solution…..
