these kind of things make me piss myself,"drastically reduce mobile phone theft" LOL
the only thing that it does is stop the theif from using the phone, but the victim still has to buy a new one...
and to be honest, if i was to lose my phone (not have it stolen) i wouldnt bother blocking it, whats the point? its my loss, if someone finds it, good for them, and if that person is kind enough to contact me to give it me back (highly unlikely) better still.
I LOST a t300 a few months back, and all i did was disactivate the sim card, because i have a contract, but it wasnt all that much of a loss, hense i bought a t610 the day after..LOL
just my "50 motha f**kin cent" LOL
sorry laffen, i admit that kind of quote was not very apropiat..._________________

The IMEI is important for equipment insurance purposes also.

Hi to all,
I'm so sorry to say that in the Philippines when your cellphone gets stolen and you reported to your carrier the imei # of your cellphone to have it blocked. It's still useless, Why? all I know that stolen cell phones which are already blocked are being unlocked in the Philippines for just 500 pesos ( around 9 US dollars ) even if the IMEI # those people who do this kind of unlocking service in the Philippines have ways and means to hack the IMEI completely by changing it and assigning it with a new IMEI # This is FYI
Anyone cares to comment?

Would be nice. But, it requires that the rep for the gsm carriers enters it in to the database, as well as entering it correctly. No one is going to send a block request through the system unless the imei is there correctly to start with. Right now imies are stricktly for tracking

Recently, i went to a site that ask for my imei no. upon registration is this safe? what could happen if i share my imei no? if i got my phone blocked, can i unblock it if i still have proof of purchase and the packaging? i know i ask too much but please bear with me.

They asked for your IMEI number?!?!? Unless this is a SIM Unlocking site, I wouldn't give it to them!
