    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.

              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.
