*7.    **No tracking of lost or stolen mobiles:*

Your carrier does not track lost and stolen mobiles and they cannot be
pinpointed.


I have spotted devices with the logos of Australian carriers in the windows
of phone shops around South East Asia, which might give you some clues as
to how effective IEMI blocking is.
