From this Monday (7), National Telecommunications Agency (Anatel) and Ministry of Justice and Public Security (MJSP) qualified two new functions in the safe cellular program to expand safety in cases of theft and theft.
The new tools allow the full lock of the device to prevent the phone from being used in case of theft and theft and makes it possible to block the telephone line and bank accounts without disabled IMEI – a single number that identifies the device on the mobile network. See the new options:
Total blockade
In case of theft and theft of the mobile phone, users registered on safe mobile phone may trigger the total blockade of the device. The measure considers more strict to completely disable the telephone line, accounts linked to partner institutions and IMEI.
Even with the exchange of the chip, without the IMEI the cell phone is unusable in the hands of criminals. The device cannot connect to any telecommunication network and loses value in the illegal market.
If the victim recovers the cell phone, the folder warns that there is a possibility of recovering the usefulness of the device, even if “bureaucratic”.
Recovery
Another tool allows you to block the telephone line and the accounts linked to partner institutions without disabling the device’s IMEI. In this case, IMEI is included in a restriction list, warns the folder.
“If someone activates a new line on a device with a restricted IMEI, the new user will receive an automatic message via WhatsApp, asking the mobile phone to be taken to the nearest police station for clarification,” explains MJSP.
More practically than with the activation of the total blockade, in case of mobile recovery, it is enough to install a new chip.
The alternative is considered useful in cases of loss or loss, when there is a possibility that the owner rediscover the device.
