CEIR Portal: How To Use It For Tracking Lost/Stolen Mobile? Here's A Step By Step Guide
CEIR module on the Sanchar Saathi portal facilitates tracing of the lost/stolen mobile devices.
Mobile phones are important parts of our lives and if an individual's mobile is lost somewhere, then he/she might face a lot of problems.
Nowadays, mobile phones are not just used for calling and messaging people but for office work, shopping, banking, payments etc and they contain all private and personal information about the user.
In such a situation, how one can track their number or block their smartphone?
The Government Of India has a solution for it. Earlier this month, Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw launched the 'Sanchar Sathi' portal.
This multipurpose online portal helps citizens in blocking their phone numbers, track their lost or stolen phones, and many more.
What Is Sanchar Saathi Portal ?
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) launched Sanchar Saathi, an initiative that focuses on improving the security of mobile users in India.
Sanchar Saathi has different modules, including CEIR and TAFCOP, which are citizen-centric. The CEIR lets users block or track their stolen devices, while the TAFCOP allows them to check and disconnect mobile connection numbers.
This website helps users block their lost or stolen phones by entering their IMEI details. The phone will be temporarily blocked and become unusable across India's telecom service providers' network. Users need to keep the FIR copy of the lost phone for tracking it on the website.
