How to disable a STOLEN mobile phone?
To check your Mobile phone's serial number, key in the following digits on your phone: * # 0 6 # .A 15 digit code will appear on the screen. This number is unique to your handset. Write it down and keep it somewhere safe. when your phone get 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 thief changes the SIM card, your phone will be totally useless. You probably won't get your phone back, but at least you know that whoever stole it can't use/sell it either.If everybody does this, there would be no point in people stealing mobile phones.

To support this each service provider in India needs to install and provision a piece of equipment (& Software) which will keep track of Black List Number (Stolen Mobiles), Grey list numbers (Malfunctioning mobiles) etc. They are also required to share this information with other service providers to make this work. Unfortunately it means more cost for service provider. Hence not presently supported by service providers in India.
