FROM NTU WEBSITE:
Protect your Handphone

EASY TO CARRY AND NICE TO HOLD. CARE FOR IT AS IT'S EASY TO GO

Imagine losing your hand phone and all the personal data & contact numbers that you have stored in it. It will take up much precious time and effort to recover this information if you lose it.

There are two in-built security features, namely the phone lock and SIM lock. Use them to make your hand phone less attractive to criminals. Refer to your manufacturer's guide on how to activate them.

IMEI number

Obtain your hand phone's IMEI number by keying in (*#06#). A 15 digit IMEI number will appear on the screen of your hand phone. Write down somewhere as it will come in handy if you lose your hand phone.

PREVENT HAND PHONE LOST - Some simple steps to take included:

Do not lend strangers your hand phone. There have been cases where strangers have run away with the hand phone after "borrowing" it.

Do not leave your hand phone in your vehicle unattended. A thief may smash the window or windscreen to get it.

Do not leave your hand phone unattended.

Always keep your hand phone secured with you, such as in your front pocket.

When visiting sporting facilities, make sure you leave your belongings and handphone in a locker.

If your hand phone is stolen

Inform your service provider to cancel the SIM card as soon as possible.

Lodge a Police report immediately.

In particular, provide the IMEI number.
