Mobile phone security

Make a note of:

* Your mobile's serial number (also known as the IMEI number)
* Your mobile phone number
* The number of your operator's customer services (including UK dialing code).

Keep them with you in a safe place, separate from your mobile.

If your phone is stolen you will be able to contact the network operator in the UK and request that they block your phone and/or SIM card. You may need to provide additional information in order to get the phone blocked, such as a password. Contact your operator for details of how they deal with stolen phones before you leave so you can be sure you have the right information abroad to block the phone if it is stolen.
