TEXT 682-prevent phone theives

[ICEMAN007]

---

Text 682 or Text NTC is another alternative way of reporting lost/stolen
cell phones. Project Text 682 aims to prevent and eventually eliminate the
problem of mobile cell phone theft. Through a string of SMS commands, TEXT
682 will enable mobile phone subscribers to prevent anyone from using a
stolen or lost mobile phone by blocking the IMEI of the said phone. Once a
mobile phone is blocked, it cannot be used anymore even if the SIM card is
replaced. Likewise, if the stolen phone is returned to the rightful owner,
he/she will be able to automatically unlock the IMEI of the said mobile
phone.
