    Yes, the number is hardwired to the device.

        Yeah, SIM number is different to the IMEI (international mobile equipment identifier).

                The thing with tracking a phone on it's IMEI number is something that can be useful in smaller areas since it relies on triangulating signals and won't be nearly as exact as for instance a GPS-unit. I do understand why the operators don't give a [insert something profane here] about tracking them though, if they needed to do that and coordinate a "rescue mission" each time they wouldn't be doing anything else and the prices would just shoot sky high. I use MS Exchange to sync calendar and contacts and with my Subscription (which includes free traffic over GPRS/3G/HSPA) it syncs every 10 minutes or via Push. :D /Jagg

                  Wouldn't be more expensive than buying a new filofax ? Mybe my problem is that a filofax is probably much more expensive than I think it is.

                  Some were expensive, some weren't. The ones you are thinking of are like Timex watches - the one he had was more of a Rolex :laugh:

                    You have no chance getting your phone back, but you can have it blocked so it doesnt work. If we all do this mobile phone theft will be a thing of the past.

                      Your carrier can track it, but as soon as you tell them it's stolen they'll just block it. So you can, but they won't.

                                          I also have a Seiko 5, no battery, an automatic, and at 5 ticks per second, a nice sweep.
