When reporting a lost or stolen phone on the CEIR (Central Equipment Identity Register) portal in India, you will need to provide some information to help identify your phone and block it on all networks. The information required may vary depending on the portal used and the telecom service provider. Generally, you will be asked to provide the following information:
1) Personal details: You will need to provide your name, address, phone number, and other contact information.
2) IMEI number: The IMEI (International Mobile Equipment Identity) number is a unique identification number assigned to your phone. You can find this number on the box of your phone, on the back of your phone (if removable), or by dialing *#06# on your phone.
3) Phone details: You will need to provide details about your phone, such as the brand, model, and color.
4) Date and place of loss/theft: You will need to provide the date and place where you lost or your phone was stolen.
5) Police complaint: You will need to provide a copy of the police complaint filed for the lost or stolen phone.
Once you have provided this information and submitted the complaint on the CEIR portal, the telecom service providers will be notified to block your phone on all networks. It is important to note that the blocking of your phone is irreversible, and you will not be able to use the same phone again. Therefore, it is essential to keep a record of your phone’s IMEI number and take measures to secure your phone to prevent it from being lost or stolen in the first place.
