Here Is What a Thief Can Do With Your Stolen Phone.
- Call their own premium rate numbers and recieve commission for the calls and run up a huge bill for which you are liable. Steal your identity and those on your contact lists. Download stored data for criminal purposes. Use the phone for criminal activity. Sell it on at a substantial profit.
- Think you are covered for these eventualities? Think Again. You may be shocked to know even if you are insured you're liable for unauthorised calls until you report loss or theft to your network. Most insurers insist you report loss or theft within 24 hours, if you don't even your handset is not covered. All networks have different numbers, and some even have different prepay, contract, national and international numbers.
- Don't you agree that if you had your phone stolen anywhere in the world wouldn't it be easier to ring one number and have all this taken care of? If so you should become a foneASSIST member.
