In New Delhi: Losing a smartphone is unpleasant, but it occurs frequently. We do experience it occasionally. On sometimes, it occurs to people we know. In the situation, what do you do? You report to the police. Additionally, you can use functions like Find My Phone. What if your efforts prove unsuccessful? That is the topic of today's article: how to locate a stolen smartphone utilising the CEIR portal run by the Indian government.


Central Equipment Identity Register is known as CEIR. It was established by the Department of Telecommunications to take on the market for fake mobile phones. What does this mean, exactly? Everything depends on your data. Serious issues may arise if your data or a phone that is registered in your name is compromised. As a result, you can trace the position of your smartphone and make a complaint using this website. Most crucially, you can block smartphone access even if the device's SIM card is replaced.


The CEIR website is easy to navigate. Use the block option on the CEIR website if you've lost your phone. The website will open a form requesting your cellphone number, IMEI number, model, and other necessary information if you select this option. Users should be aware that they will require the police complaint number, which they will receive upon registering a FIR, in order to submit a form.

When you find the phone, what should you do? There is a pretty straightforward unblock option available. Enter the Request ID and further details after clicking it. Using this technique, you can unlock access to your recovered smartphone. The stolen smartphone can also be tracked using the "Check request status" option.



Now that you know how to track and monitor stolen smartphones, let's talk about some other abilities you should master. First, if you bought a second-hand phone. How can I tell whether or not it was stolen? Two responses.


The letters KYM and the IMEI can be sent as a text message to the number 14422. You will receive a response with information about the phone if it is legitimate. If the response is marked as "blacklisted," don't use it because it might have been copied. An alternative is to download the KYM app from the Apple Store or Google Play to learn more.


The information can be accessed in the Settings app if the IMEI number cannot be found. Instead, dial *#06#. The IMEI number is also printed on the box of the smartphone.



A sheet of paper with the IMEI number on it is also a good idea. Users must regularly back up their data on a hard drive or in the cloud in order to recover lost files.
