Sorry about that boss, they will meet their Waterloo soon. Hope you have called your bank to block ATM card, also try to change your passwords of major apps and website.

Yes bro, I have gone to the bank to block the two ATM cards. They can't use the phone. It's a redmi phone. I have remotely erased all my details on the phone and have locked it through my online Redmi Mi account.

I even ledt a message that will display whenever the phone is switched on. I wrote a message that says "This phone was stolen from the owner at a gun point on the 30-12-2020. If found, pls kindly contact me". I then put a number anyone can call.

That message will always appear whenever they switch the phone on and they can't use it.

It's locked for life.

I have remotely locked the phone. They can't use it. I will get a new one once I retrieve my line.

I left a message that will appear whenever they switch on the phone. Even if they end up selling it, the buyer can't use it. And that message indicating that the phone was stolen will always appear on the screen whenever the phone is witched on.

What puzzle me is how registered sim card is trending in the North for less than 500 naira including 3gb free.

One must annoying thing is Fulani kidnappers can be bargaining with the relative of their subject for morethan 7 days before ransom is paid.

It's a security feature that comes with all xiaomi redmi phones.

I first created an account with accountDOTxiaomiDOTcom immediately I bought the phone using my email. So that if the phone end up being stolen, you can go to usDOTiDOTmiDOTcom and login with your Mi account detail in any other available phone.

Once you login, there is a section where you can either track the phone, erase information in the phone remotely or lock the phone for life.

No other person will be able to use the phone unless you yourself the owner unlock it with your Xiaomi Mi account details.

Same here.Called today and they said it's not being done for now.
I am guessing the official circular to the telcos has not reached them yet.
I am sure by next week after the festive and new yr holidays,they will start.
You would be surprised at the millions of people that need to do welcome back, mainly due to stolen phones.It's stunning the number of phones that have been stolen just the past 2weeks or so.
I'm not surprised oh, due to the increase in hardship it is expected, mine was stolen at onitsha, onitsha have become dreadful again because of the increase in hardship.

Omo this is good new sha. Don't know what these lots were thinking placing that ban during a period were phones are prone to theft. one window thief just move my phone laidis and the past 2 weeks were not funny. No contact, no social media, No emails, business was just dormant.

What you are saying is that if the thief switches of the device, removes the Sim and performs hard reset, that you can still lock it? How?

If you signed into your Xiaomi account b4 the phone was stolen, you can remotely lock and erase the phone anywhere as long as there's internet connection even if a hard reset was done

guy, this isn't 2017, hard reset does nothing. Most android now come with FRP protection to tackle hard resetting. But it's less secure than Xiaomi lock
