[QUOTE="Don Franco, post: 236634, member: 4889"] I used to work for ADAM ( timecell sdn bhd) back in 2000. They had a system that can block all IMEIs.. thus rendering the phone useless to anyone who has stolen it. In a way the phone becomes useless to people who steals handphones or use a phone that does not belong to them. In the long run, it helps reduce or stops handphone theft. It was easy to block as any new phone user will be registered, with their SIM and IMEI, in the system. So if someone lost their phone, all they have to do is, call the Telco, and report it lost. The telco will then block the SIM and the IMEI. Simple, and free!! Now they want to give this service to another company to do this and charge for it? Thats to make money, cos they saw the opportunity to make lots and lots of money!! [/QUOTE]
