This means that, to curb mobile phone thefts, deterrents must be put in place to stop these phones functioning overseas. The current technical controls that exist are not enough. The Global System for Mobile Communications Association, GSMA, has a service called CEIR—I apologise for the acronyms—the central equipment identity register for dealing with stolen devices. If a network provider is notified of a lost or stolen device, they can share the connection IMEI number using CEIR—I know that it is late, but please bear with me.
