Register your sim card. imagine you lost your phone. you went to the phone tracking guys (police i assume). they can use an IMEI or whatever they use. They find the phone based on the GSM cell location. If they have all the sim cards registered it means two things: 1. If the phone is tracked, it saves alot of time knowing who 07xxxxxxxx is because they have that number. Its relatively easy to followup someone whose details you know than some wild card, once that number is put into your stolen phone. 2.that they will require you to register the phone you use as well. This is a more stingy one because once you change phones, then your IMEI wont be recognized. So if someone tries to register a stolen phone, voila!
